A spell of wildness by Gaylord Perry enabled the Red Sox to break a tie with two runs in the fifth inning en route to a 5-2 victory over the Indians. Perry walked Sonny Siebert, hit Doug Griffin on the hand with a pitch and uncorked a wild pitch to enable the runners to advance. Luis Aparicio then singled to drive in Siebert and pinch-runner John Kennedy. Rico Petrocelli iced the verdict with a homer off Ed Farmer in the eighth.
