The unbeaten Red Sox won their fourth straight game, all at the expense of the Yankees, when Luis Tiant and Bob Veale combined on a four-hitter to post a 3-1 victory. Felipe Alou homered for the Yankees' run in the second to tie the score at 1-1, but the Red Sox moved ahead to stay when Tommy Harper tripled and Carl Yastrzemski hit a sacrifice fly in the third. Doug Griffin, who had four hits in the game, accounted for the last Red Sox run with a homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
