Vida Blue allowed only four hits in eight innings before yielding the mound to Horacio Pina and picked up an easy victory as the Athletics trounced the Red Sox, 12-1. Sal Bando hit a homer and three singles to lead the A's attack. Blue lost his bid for a shutout when the Red Sox scored in the eighth on two errors and a single by Orlando Cepeda.
