Jim Rice's three-run homer triggered a four-run first inning and sent the Red Sox on to a 6-3 victory over the Twins. Rice's blow was preceded by Bernie Carbo's triple and a walk to Rick Miller. Their fourth run came on singles by Dwight Evans and Doug Griffin wrapped around a walk to Rick Burleson and followed by Bob Heise's groundout.
