Homers by Rico Petrocelli and Jim Rice accounted for five runs in the eighth inning as Luis Tiant pitched the Red Sox to a 7-1 victory over the White Sox. The Red Sox were clinging to a lead of only 2-1 when Carlton Fisk singled and Jim Rice homered. Then, after Carl Yastrzemski singled and Dwight Evans walked, Petrocelli hit for the circuit.
