Luis Tiant pitched a seven-hitter for the Red Sox and turned in his 14th complete game in a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. Cecil Cooper, who tripled in the second inning and scored on Rico Petrocelli's sacrifice fly, added a solo homer in the fourth. The decisive Red Sox run counted in the sixth when Fred Lynn walked, advanced to second on an infield out and came home on a single by Rick Miller.
