Gaylord Perry gained his first victory since June 25 and Tom Timmerman, coming out of the bullpen for only his second start of the season, pitched a four-hitter as the Indians defeated the Red Sox in a doubleheader, 8-2 and 6-2. Perry broke his personal six-game losing streak with a seven-hit performance in the lidlifter. Frank Duffy drove in all three of the Indians' runs with a pair of singles.

Buddy Bell and John Ellis each batted in two tallies in support of Timmerman in the nightcap. Bell had three hits in three trips, including a homer. [The Sporting News]
