After Ron Swoboda's heroics enabled the Yankees to win the first game of a doubleheader, 5-3, Stan Bahnsen pitched a six-hitter in the second game and shut out the Red Sox, 3-0. The Yankees trailed in the lidlifter, 3-2, before rallying for three runs in the eighth inning. Jake Gibbs homered to tie the score. After singles by Felipe Alou and Roy White, plus an error by Reggie Smith, Ron Swoboda batted for Ron Blomberg and singled to drive in the Yankees' winning runs. Swoboda went to right field after his pinch-hitting chore and saved the game in the ninth inning with a leaping catch that deprived Smith of a two-run homer.
