Oil Can Boyd Shutouts Detroit, Red Sox Take Five Game Series
August 8th, 2004 | Brian
August 8, 1984 Red Sox 8, Tigers 0 (74-41)
An error by third basemen Howard Johnson led to five first inning unearned runs, as Glenn Abbott couldn’t get out of the first inning. Probably the strangest thing about the inning was Abbott struck out Wade Boggs.
Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd threw a complete game seven hitter, as the Tigers couldn’t put a runner across the plate. John Grubb was the only Tiger to figure him out, as he went two for three.
