Rick Burleson, Butch Hobson and Dwight Evans batted in three runs apiece, while Carlton Fisk scored four times, as the Red Sox routed the Royals, 15-6. Fisk banged out three singles and a triple. Burleson collected his RBIs with a bases-loaded double to cap a seven-run outburst by the Red Sox in the first inning. Hobson homered with two men on base in the second and Evans drove in his runs with a grounder, sacrifice fly and homer.
