Carl Yastrzemski smashed a tremendous homer over Fenway Park's center field wall for the big blow as the Red Sox snapped a five-game losing streak by defeating the Indians, 6-2. Yastrzemski's drive with two men on base broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning. Homers also accounted for the other Red Sox runs. Tony Conigliaro produced the first pair with a smash in the sixth. After Yastrzemski's clout in the eighth, Rico Petrocelli also hit for the circuit.
