A single by Carl Yastrzemski for his third hit of the game capped a three-run rally by the Red Sox in the ninth inning and produced a 5-4 victory over the Yankees. Dick Schofield led off with a pinch-double, Reggie Smith was safe on an error and Mike Andrews walked to load the bases. Joe Lahoud singled, driving in two runs to tie the score, before Yastrzemski rapped his winning single. [The Sporting News]
