Rico Petrocelli and Rick Burleson slammed three-run homers to support the five-hit pitching of Bill Lee as the Red Sox won over the Angels, 6-0, in a nationally televised game. Petrocelli's blast came in the second inning and followed walks to Dwight Evans and Tony Conigliaro. Burleson's followed a single by Petrocelli and walk to Juan Beniquez. The biggest Angel threat came in the ninth but Bob Allietta grounded into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
