Cal Koonce, who came from the Mets earlier in the season, gained his first A. L. victory when the Red Sox defeated the Senators, 3-1. Singles by Reggie Smith, Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro accounted for the first Red Sox run in the fourth inning. Mike Andrews singled in the seventh and counted the tie-breaking tally on singles by Smith and Yastrzemski. Conigliaro followed with a double to plate an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
