Staked to a three-run lead in the first inning, Sam McDowell pitched the Indians to a 3-0 victory over the Red Sox. The shutout was the first of the season for the lefthander, who allowed only three hits. The Indians' runs counted on singles by Larry Brown and Ted Uhlaender, a double by Tony Horton and single by Chuck Hinton. [The Sporting News]
