After getting only two hits off Ray Culp and losing the first game, 4-0, the Indians came back to beat the Red Sox in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-3. Three-run homers in the first inning were decisive in both clashes. Carl Yastrzemski connected for the Red Sox in the lidlifter after Joe Lahoud singled and Reggie Smith walked.

In the nightcap, after two passes and a double by Graig Nettles produced one run for the Indians, Chuck Hinton came to the plate and smashed a homer. [The Sporting News]
