Rick Dempsey, Rick Bladt and Fred Stanley, batting in the lower third of the Yankees' order, each drove in a run to help beat the Red Sox, 4-2. In the second inning, after Dick McAuliffe misjudged a pop fly by Walt Williams for an error, Dempsey, Bladt and Stanley followed with singles to produce two runs.

The Yankees added another run in the third on a single by Thurman Munson and double by Dempsey. Stanley, who finished the game with three hits, singled and scored the Yankees' last run in the sixth. Doubles by Fred Lynn and Jim Rice and a single by McAuliffe accounted for the Red Sox pair in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
