With Darrell Porter having a hand in all of the game's scoring, the Royals defeated the Red Sox, 3-0, behind the combined six-hit pitching of Jim Colborn and Mark Littell. Porter homered following a single by Tom Poquette in the second inning. In the sixth, Poquette doubled and Porter walked. Poquette was thrown out at third on a bunt by Fred Patek, but Porter advanced to second on the play and scored on a single by Frank White.
