The Red Sox broke a tight game apart with six runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Orioles, 10-2. The Red Sox started their spree with a single by Rico Petrocelli, who scored on a walk to Dwight Evans and single by Bernie Carbo. Danny Cater, who had batted in the first run of the game with a double in the second, hit a sacrifice fly, driving in Evans. Other runs followed on singles by Dick McAuliffe, Juan Beniquez and Mario Guerrero, a forceout by Carlton Fisk and singles by Carl Yastrzemski and Petrocelli. Cater completed his four-RBI day with a two-run single in the ninth. Boog Powell hit a homer for the Orioles. [The Sporting News]
