Carlton Fisk hit a grand slam in the first inning and followed with a three-run homer in the eighth as the Red Sox overpowered the Blue Jays, 11-2. Mike Darr, making his first major league appearance for the Blue Jays, gave up a single by Rick Burleson, walked Fred Lynn and hit Jim Rice with a pitch to set the stage for Fisk's jackpot wallop. Lynn homered in the sixth and also drove in a run with a single in the eighth before the Red Sox capped their scoring with Fisk's second circuit clout.
