| Exploding for six runs in the first two innings, the Red Sox breezed to a 7-2 victory over the Mariners. The Red Sox loaded the bases in the first on two walks and a single by Jim Rice, paving the way for two runs on a grounder by Carl Yastrzemski and sacrifice fly by George Scott. In the second, when the Red Sox made it 6-0, Rice hit a homer with a man on base. Yastrzemski accounted for his second RBI of the game with a single in the sixth. Mariners' runs included a homer by Bob Stinson. [The Sporting News] |
