The Detroit Rockets will have a day to regroup. Boston starter Jim Palmer had held them scoreless with two hits in 5 innings when heavy rains led the game to be suspended. The Splinters’ Carlton Fisk hit a solo homer off Detroit starter Bret Saberhagen in the top of the 6th, just as rain started to fall. Rickey Henderson and Tony Oliva followed with singles as heavier rains moved in, but Saberhagen got the next three Boston batters to ground out, keeping the Splinters to just one run. With no end to the bad weather in sight, umpires suspended the game. Per MLB rules, the game will resume tomorrow before the clubs’ already scheduled game.
