Tiant fuels Red Sox comeback in pennant chase
Tom Tiant, reclaimed from a troubled path via the Twins and Braves, returned to the Boston rotation and ran off a 15-5 mark with 11 complete games and a 1.02 ERA in August and September. The Red Sox, though, dropped a 4-1 decision to Detroit as Aurelio Rodriguez and Al Kaline homered and Mickey Lolich won his 22nd. Luis Aparicio’s miscue on the basepaths also cost Boston a chance to seize the lead in the pennant race.
