Doug Griffin drove in four runs and Rick Wise scattered eight hits to lead the Red Sox to a 9-1 triumph over the Yankees and move into first place in the A. L. East. The Sox, playing before a season-high crowd of 35,489, won the game with three second-inning runs. Fred Lynn walked, Rico Petrocelli singled and Carlton Fisk also singled for the first run. Griffin followed with a double, scoring Petrocelli and Fisk.

The Sox added two more in the fourth, with Griffin driving in one, and three more in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Petrocelli. The final Sox tally came on an eighth-inning homer by Cecil Cooper. Wise had a shutout until two out in the ninth when Bobby Bonds rapped his 17th homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
