Homers by Rico Petrocelli, Bernie Carbo and Carlton Fisk supplied the power for the Red Sox in a 7-4 victory over the Indians. Petrocelli hit for the circuit following a single by Carl Yastrzemski in the second inning. Cecil Cooper walked and Dick McAuliffe singled ahead of Carbo's clout in the third. Fisk added a solo swat in the eighth. Juan Marichal was the winner with the aid of Dick Drago. [The Sporting News]
