Bill Lee, with eighth-inning help from Diego Segui and run production from six players in the Boston lineup, pitched the Red Sox past the White Sox, 6-1. Chicago didn't score until the eighth when Jorge Orta walked and Pete Varney and Bucky Dent singled. Segui relieved and got Dick Allen to hit into an inning-ending double play.

Bob Montgomery chased home the first Red Sox run in the third with a single after Doug Griffin had doubled. Sacrifice flies by Rico Petrocelli and rookie Jim Rice got two more across in the fourth. Boston chased loser Jim Kaat in the eighth with their final three tallies. Juan Beniquez doubled home one run, Carl Yastrzemski singled home another and Griffin drew a bases-loaded walk to climax the scoring. [The Sporting News]
