The Red Sox erupted for 11 runs in the second inning and walloped the Orioles, 14-5. Despite the one-sided nature of the contest, the Orioles actually outhit the Red Sox, 12-11. However, the Orioles could not match a Red Sox outburst that included two-run singles by Denny Doyle and George Scott and a three-run homer by Butch Hobson. [The Sporting News]
