Luis Tiant gave up two homers by George Hendrick but allowed only four other hits while pitching the Red Sox to an 11-3 victory over the Indians. Tiant received major batting support from batterymate Carlton Fisk, who drove in three runs with a homer in the second inning, infield out in the third and triple in the fourth.
