A homer by Carl Yastrzemski with Bernie Carbo on base and two out in the 14th inning lifted the Red Sox to a 9-7 victory over the White Sox. Carlos May and Brian Downing hit homers for the White Sox, but four unearned runs helped the Red Sox take a 7-6 lead before the White Sox tied the score in the ninth on a double by May and single by Ken Henderson.

Rich Gossage, who pitched the last 7 2/3 innings for the White Sox in his longest relief performance of the season, finally drew the defeat when Carbo was hit by a pitch and Yastrzemski rapped his homer. [The Sporting News]
