Three unearned runs enabled the Yankees to defeat the Red Sox, 4-1, behind the pitching of Ed Figueroa, who racked up his 13th victory of the season. In the second inning, after Thurman Munson doubled and Chris Chambliss walked, Rico Petrocelli booted a two-out grounder by Willie Randolph, loading the bases.
