Luis Tiant pitched a two-hitter and the Red Sox continued their slugging with two more homers in a 7-0 victory over the Orioles. Jim Rice started the scoring with a round-tripper in the fourth inning, and, after Carlton Fisk walked, George Scott also hit for the circuit. The Red Sox wrapped up the decision with four runs in the ninth on RBI singles by Fisk and Butch Hobson and a two-run double by Denny Doyle. [The Sporting News]
