Roger Moret allowed only one hit while pitching the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the White Sox. With one out in the seventh inning, Dick Allen rapped a grounder that ticked off the fingertips of Moret's glove and bounced slowly to second baseman Doug Griffin, who was unable to beat the hustling Allen at first. Moret struck out 12 for his personal best and a club high for the season. Wilbur Wood, White Sox loser, gave up eight hits. Jim Rice had two singles, one of them coming with the bases loaded in the eighth to drive in two runs. [The Sporting News]
