George Scott, Tony Conigliaro and Reggie Smith smashed homers as the Red Sox entertained a home opening crowd of 34,002 by defeating the Yankees, 8-3. Frank Tepedino hit a two-run homer for the Yankees. Smith, whose round-tripper broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning, also tripled and scored on a passed ball in the seventh and drove in two runs with a double in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
