Two-run homers by Tony Conigliaro and Rico Petrocelli highlighted the attack as the Red Sox defeated the Indians, 8-2, for their seventh straight victory. With his homer, Petrocelli joined Conigliaro and Carl Yastrzemski in the 100-RBI class, marking the first time that three members of the Red Sox had driven in 100 runs apiece since Vern Stephens, Walt Dropo and Bobby Doerr accomplished that feat in 1950.
