Carl Yastrzemski drove in three runs, Doug Griffin accounted for two and Jim Rice hit a homer as the Red Sox defeated the Rangers, 10-4. Mike Hargrove had two of the Rangers' eight hits off Luis Tiant and batted in three runs. Tiant became the first Red Sox pitcher to have a turn at bat since the last game of the 1972 season. When designated hitter Cecil Cooper entered the game at first base, Tiant batted in Yastrzemski's place in the eighth inning and flied out. [The Sporting News]
