A previous winner of eight straight decisions, Wayne Garland was kayoed in the sixth inning and suffered his first defeat of the season when the Red Sox beat the Orioles, 6-4. The Red Sox were trailing, 4-3, going into the stanza, but Fred Lynn tripled and Carl Yastrzemski doubled to tie the score and Jim Rice smashed a homer for the winning blow. [The Sporting News]
