| Two-run homers by Rico Petrocelli and George Scott carried the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Yankees. The Red Sox scored in the first inning on a walk to Reggie Smith and double by Carl Yastrzemski before Petrocelli socked his homer. Scott's smash followed a single by Yastrzemski in the eighth.
