The biggest single-inning outburst by the Red Sox this season produced seven runs in the eighth and beat the Senators, 10-4. The Red Sox used two second basemen, Doug Griffin and John Kennedy, and each hit a homer.

Griffin's blow in the third inning was the first of his major league career. Kennedy hit his first of the season to tie the score at 3-3 in the seventh. The Red Sox' outburst in the eighth included a two-run single by Carl Yastrzemski and two-run homer by Rico Petrocelli. [The Sporting News]
