The Indians and Red Sox split a doubleheader; the Bosox taking the first game, 6-3, and the Tribe winning the second, 10-7, in 11 innings. After Johnny Grubb's homer had tied the opener, 3-3, in the top of the eighth, the Sox broke the contest open in the bottom of frame. Bob Bailey drew a leadoff walk and pinch-runner Frank Duffy reached second when reliever Dennis Kinney bobbled Jerry Remy's bunt. Carlton Fisk pounded a double off reliever Jim Kern, scoring Duffy. Remy and Fisk then came around on a double by George Scott.
