A walk to Carl Yastrzemski with the bases loaded in the eighth inning forced in the run that handed the Red Sox a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. Yastrzemski, who had hit a two-run homer earlier in the game, drew his pass from Don Eddy after Phil Gagliano walked and Luis Aparicio and Reggie Smith singled. [The Sporting News]
