Seldom used as a starter, Dick Pole received a chance from manager Darrell Johnson and turned in the first complete game of his major league career, pitching the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the White Sox. The start was only the second this year for the righthander, who allowed just three hits.

Jim Rice sent Pole on his way to victory by hitting a three-run homer in the first inning. The blow with two out came after Carl Yastrzemski and Fred Lynn drew walks from Lloyd Allen, who was making his first start for the White Sox since being recalled from the minors. The Red Sox added an extra run in the fifth on another walk to Lynn, an infield out by Rice and single by Juan Beniquez. [The Sporting News]
