Carlton Fisk batted in three runs, including two in the ninth inning, as the Red Sox defeated the Yankees, 4-2. A triple by Fred Lynn and double by Fisk started the Red Sox scoring in the second. The Yankees knotted the count on a grounder by Ed Herrmann with the bases loaded in the fifth.

The tie then persisted until the ninth when Denny Doyle doubled, Carl Yastrzemski singled and Lynn walked to load the bases. Jim Rice hit a sacrifice to break the tie and Fisk followed with a single, driving in two runs to supply the Red Sox with their winning margin. The Yankees picked up one run in their half on a walk to Chris Chambliss, a wild pitch and single by Graig Nettles. [The Sporting News]
