Steve Barr, rookie lefthander from the Red Sox farm at Bristol (Eastern), gained his first major league victory, pitching a seven-hitter and beating the Indians, 7-4. Jim Rice broke a 4-4 tie with a homer in the fourth inning and the Red Sox went on to add another run on a double by Rick Miller in the fifth and their final tally on two-baggers by Miller and Dwight Evans in the eighth.
