The Red Sox broke three major league records for homers in consecutive games by smashing five in an 11-1 rout of the Yankees. With their five blows, the Red Sox set marks for most homers in five straight games with 21, four with 18 and three in the sweep of the Yankees with 16.

Denny Doyle started the Boston barrage with a three-run drive in the fourth inning. After Bernie Carbo added a solo shot in the seventh, Jim Rice, Carl Yastrzemski and George Scott connected for back-to-back homers off Dick Tidrow in the eighth. While the Red Sox were pounding away, Fergie Jenkins held the Yankees to only three hits. [The Sporting News]
