Hot-hitting Carlton Fisk smashed two homers and drove in five runs as the Red Sox rapped the Blue Jays, 7-2. Fisk hit his first round-tripper with two men on base in the second inning and George Scott followed with a circuit clout, marking the 16th time this season that the Red Sox had hit two homers in succession. Fisk's other four-bagger came after a single by Jim Rice in the sixth.
