Two homers by Fred Lynn and one by Carl Yastrzemski powered the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Yankees behind the pitching of Rick Wise, who turned in his first complete game since April 13, 1974 and gained his first triumph since June 23. Lynn was on base with a single when Yastrzemski hit for the circuit in the first inning. Lynn then homered in the third and again in the fifth. Wise gave up a run on three singles in the second, stopped the Yankees with the bases loaded in the seventh and yielded a homer by Walt Williams in the the ninth. [The Sporting News]
