Five homers, including a pair by Carl Yastrzemski, who drove in five runs, powered the Red Sox to a 10-4 victory over the Yankees in a nationally televised game spiced by a dugout brawl between Yankee manager Billy Martin and his millionaire right fielder Reggie Jackson.

Martin, unhappy over Jackson's lackadaisical fielding of a double by Jim Rice in the sixth inning, pulled the outfielder out of the game, sending Paul Blair to right field. Martin and Jackson then exchanged heated words and had to be restrained from punching each other. In addition to Yastrzemski's homers, the Red Sox also had two by Bernie Carbo and one by George Scott. [The Sporting News]
