The sixth career grand slam by Carl Yastrzemski carried the Red Sox past the Athletics, 7-3, giving Boston a sweep of the three-game series. Yastrzemski connected in the seventh inning following singles by Bob Montgomery, Juan Beniquez and Rick Burleson. The A's opened the scoring in the second when Gene Tenace hit a solo homer, but the Sox got that run back in the bottom of the inning on Dwight Evans' double, a long fly ball and Tenace's passed ball.
