| Carlton Fisk and Butch Hobson each hit a two-run homer off Jim Palmer in the ninth inning to power the Red Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Orioles. Fisk's homer was his second of the game and followed a double by Jim Rice. Bernie Carbo then walked and Hobson connected for the circuit. The Red Sox also had round-trippers by Rice and George Scott to set a major league record for most homers in eight consecutive games with 29. [The Sporting News] |
