After being held scoreless on two hits in the first seven innings, the Red Sox exploded for eight runs in their last two turns at bat and beat the Angels, 8-0. Gary Peters, who pitched a five-hitter, posted his fourth shutout of season.

Greg Garrett, pitching for the Angels, matched Peters until one out in the eighth when a double by John Kennedy, an intentional pass to Jerry Moses and a walk to Peters loaded the bases with one out. Ken Tatum relieved but failed to stop the Red Sox. Mike Andrews drove in two runs with a single, Reggie Smith followed with a sacrifice fly and Carl Yastrzemski added two runs with a homer. In the ninth, with Eddie Fisher on the mound, Rico Petrocelli and Billy Conigliaro singled and Moses homered to wrap up the scoring. [The Sporting News]
