Two big innings enabled the Red Sox to gain a 10-6 victory over the White Sox, who lost despite two homers by Ron Santo and one by Dick Allen. The Red Sox began their scoring with four runs in the first inning. Dwight Evans batted in one with a bases-loaded single, another scored on a wild pitch and Bob Montgomery capped the stanza with a two-run single.

Allen homered with a man on base in the White Sox half of the first and Santo hit an inside-the-park homer in the fifth before the Red Sox erupted again to score five runs in the sixth on a single by Montgomery with the bases loaded, a double by Rick Burleson and singles by Mario Guerrero and Tommy Harper. Santo hit his second homer of the game with a man on base to account for two of the three runs scored by the White Sox in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
