Taking advantage of the wildness of Mike Torrez, who issued eight walks in the first 3 1/3 innings, the Red Sox defeated the Orioles, 10-2. Torrez also uncorked two wild pitches and was charged with a balk while giving up five hits before being relieved.

After three passes in the first inning, a single by Jim Rice, another walk to Rico Petrocelli and a grounder by Bob Montgomery produced three runs. Bernie Carbo doubled, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a balk in the second. Torrez departed in the fourth when the Red Sox added three runs. Luis Tiant held the Orioles to four hits, with their runs coming on homers by Lee May and Bobby Grich. [The Sporting News]
