Jim Lonborg, who yielded only six hits in seven innings, gained his first victory since last July 27 when the Red Sox defeated the Senators, 4-1. The Red Sox scored twice in the third inning on a single by Reggie Smith, double by Carl Yastrzemski, an infield out and a wild pitch. The final pair counted in the ninth on singles by Smith and George Scott, a double by Rico Petrocelli and a sacrifice fly by Luis Alvarado. Mike Epstein homered for the Senators' marker.
