Bill Campbell pitched three hitless innings in relief and preserved Bill Lee's first victory of the season as the Red Sox defeated the Mariners, 5-4. Carlton Fisk hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox in the second inning, but the Mariners came back with three in their half, two scoring on a circuit clout by Rupper tJones. The Red Sox picked up singletons in the next two stanzas before counting their deciding run in the fifth when Dwight Evans singled after Rice was safe on an error and the next two batters walked to load the bases.
