Although collecting nine hits off Ray Culp, the Twins scored only on a homer by Brant Alyea and lost to the Red Sox, 8-1, for their seventh straight defeat. Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli hit round-trippers for the Red Sox. Yastrzemski, who connected with a man on base in the seventh inning, also singled for another RBI in the eighth.
