Rick Wise, who had been on the disabled list with a broken finger, made his first start since May 24 and joined with Dick Drago in pitching the Red Sox to an 8-0 victory over the Indians. Wise worked five innings and yielded only two hits. Drago gave up two more in the final four frames. The Red Sox were led at bat by Rico Petrocelli, who smashed a pair of homers.
