Rick Wise allowed one hit -- an infield single by Jerry Terrell in the third inning -- while pitching the Red Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead in the second on a single by Carl Yastrzemski, triple by Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk's sacrifice fly, then coasted in as Wise won his fourth straight game. Fred Lynn went 0-for-4 to end his 14-game hitting streak. [The Sporting News]
