Notching his first shutout and fourth victory of the season, Mike Torrez pitched the Red Sox to a 5-0 verdict over the White Sox. Jim Rice continued his torrid hitting, smashing a two-run homer in the first inning.

Carl Yastrzemski belted a two-run round-tripper in the third and the Bosox got another tally on an RBI single by Butch Hobson. The White Sox' scoreless streak was extended to a club-record 23 innings. [The Sporting News]
