The Red Sox exploded for six runs in the fifth inning and defeated the White Sox, 8-4, behind the relief pitching of Ken Brett, who yielded only one hit in the last 4 1/3 innings. After replacing Vicente Romo, Brett was hit by a pitched ball to open the fifth. Singles by Mike Andrews, Reggie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski produced the first run and left the bases loaded. Two runs counted when Tony Conigliaro was safe on an error by Rich Morales. After a pass to Rico Petrocelli, Billy Conigliaro singled for another tally. An infield hit by John Kennedy and a wild throw by Floyd Weaver on the play then added the fifth and sixth runs.
