Saturday June 7, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Fred Lynn homered and drove in another run with a single among his three hits in support of Bill Lee, who pitched the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Twins. Rod Carew, the major leagues' leading batter with an average of .415, was struck on the elbow by a pickoff throw in the fourth inning, but stayed in the game long enough to score the Twins' run before leaving for hospital treatment.

Lynn equalized matters with his homer in the sixth before the Red Sox broke away with two runs in the eighth on a single by Bernie Carbo, a wild pitch, late throw to third on a bunt by Rick Burleson and singles by Carl Yastrzemski and Lynn. [The Sporting News]
