The losing streak of the Red Sox was extended to 10 games when they were defeated by the Indians, 4-3, on a three-run homer by Alan Ashby in the seventh inning. The Red Sox opened the first inning with a Carlton Fisk homer with two men on base.

Rico Carty doubled home a run for the Indians in the home half. Fergie Jenkins retained the lead until the seventh when Carty hit another double, George Hendrick beat out an infield hit and Ashby turned the game around with his circuit clout. [The Sporting News]
