Red Sox rookie Wade Boggs hits his first major league home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to give Boston a 5 – 4 win over Detroit. Boggs will finally crack the starting lineup for good after tomorrow’s game, in which regular 3B Carney Lansford severely sprains his ankle while unsuccessfully trying to stretch a triple into an inside-the-park home run. Boggs hits .390 in Lansford’s absence and .349 for the season.
