Backed by a pair of two-run innings, Bill Lee pitched the Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Indians. The Red Sox put over their first two runs in the second on singles by Jim Rice and Rico Petrocelli, an error by Jack Brohamer and single by Bob Montgomery. Then in the third, Fred Lynn doubled home Rick Burleson and scored himself on a single by Rice. Lee was deprived of a shutout when George Hendrick homered for the Indians' run in the sixth.
