A homer by Ron Blomberg with two men on base in the first inning was all that the Yankees needed to upend the Red Sox, 3-1. Blomberg's blast followed a two-out single by Matty Alou and a walk to Bobby Murcer. Sam McDowell, with relief help from Sparky Lyle, received credit for his third victory since returning to the American League last month. The lone Bosox score came in the fourth when McDowell issued three straight walks, the last one forcing in Carl Yastrzemski, who had opened the frame with a double.
