Limiting the Red Sox to their fewest amount of runs in Fenway Park this season, Dennis Martinez pitched the Orioles to a 3-1 victory on a four-hitter. The first Orioles' run came home on Mark Belanger's sacrifice fly in the sixth, but the Red Sox tied the game in the bottom of the frame on a walk to Carl Yastrzemski and singles by Butch Hobson and Bernie Carbo.

Eddie Murray's solo homer in the seventh inning snapped the tie and the Birds added an insurance marker in the eighth on a double by Larry Harlow and single by Lee May. [The Sporting News]
