Homers by Carl Yastrzemski, Doug Griffin, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice, together with a three-run double by Juan Beniquez, helped the Red Sox outslug the Twins, 11-9. Jim Hughes, Twins' rookie righthander who had won six straight games, was pounded for seven runs in the first 1 2/3 innings. Yastrzemski's homer and Beniquez' double accounted for four runs in the first and three markers followed in the second on a solo shot by Griffin and two-run blow by Lynn. The Red Sox added a pair in the third, picked up another run in the fifth and capped their scoring with Rice's homer in the sixth.

The Twins matched the Red Sox in number of hits, 12, but had only one homer by Steve Brye. Luis Tiant, who started for the Red Sox, retired after five innings with a 10-3 lead. Diego Segui, who relieved, gave up two runs in the sixth and was kayoed in the eighth when the Twins tightened the game by scoring four more times. [The Sporting News]
