The Red Sox, managing just three hits off loser Sam McDowell and reliever Sparky Lyle, edged the Yankees in 11 innings, 2-1, on Terry Hughes' sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. Lyle loaded the bases on a walk, his own throwing error on a sacrifice attempt and a third base on balls before Hughes, inserted in the starting lineup just before game time when Rico Petrocelli came down with the flu, hit a sacrifice fly to center with one out.

The Yankees' only run off Roger Moret, who went the route, was a homer by Bill Sudakis in the fourth. McDowell had a one-hitter until Dwight Evans, who had singled in the sixth, homered just inside the 315-foot left field foul pole to tie the score in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
