Benchwarmer Steve Lyons walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th inning, sending the Red Sox to their 3rd straight win and a game closer to the elusive Tigers at the top of the AL East.
Clemens (20-9, 2.78) is scheduled to make 6 more starts before the season is over. His closest competition for the AL Cy Young Award includes his own teammate Bruce Hurst (17-6, 3.33), Oakland's Curt Young (18-4, 2.51), and Detroit's Jack Morris (16-7, 3.06).
