The Yankees scored 10 runs in the first four innings and coasted past the Red Sox in the Patriots' Day morning game, 12-1, beating nemesis Bill Lee in the process. Four hits and a walk off Lee, a winner in nine of 11 previous decisions against New York, gave the Yankees a 4-0 lead in the first.

The Yanks continued their bombardment against Lee and reliever Dick Drago in the fourth, counting six times on seven hits. The winners added single runs in the sixth and eighth, with the final marker coming on a homer by Roy White, who had four hits and scored four runs. Winner Pat Dobson shut out Boston through eight innings, giving only one hit in the first seven frames. The Red Sox' only marker came in the ninth on Bob Heise's RBI single. [The Sporting News]
