Jim Wohiford collected three hits and four other Royals -- Amos Otis, Cookie Rojas, Fred Patek and Buck Martinez -- rapped two apiece in an 8-3 victory over the Red Sox. Patek batted in two runs with a single in the fourth inning when the Royals took a 4-2 lead, and Martinez homered in the ninth when the Royals added their final three runs. Fred Lynn hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox and Carl Yastrzemski had a perfect day at bat with a double and three singles.
