Carlton Fisk and Dwight Evans hit homers as the Red Sox routed the Mariners, 11-1, for their 14th victory in the last 15 games. Fisk hit his homer with a man on base and Rick Burleson drove in two runs with a double to start the Red Sox scoring in the second inning.

Butch Hobson knocked in a run with a double and Denny Doyle added two with a single in the third. Evans accounted for the Red Sox' remaining runs, batting in one with a single in the fifth and three with a homer in the seventh. The Mariners averted a shutout with a double by Jose Baez and RBI single by Dan Meyer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
