Leading off the ninth inning, Fred Lynn smashed a homer to give the Red Sox a 5-4 victory and hand the Angels their seventh straight defeat. The Red Sox won with only six hits against 12 for the Angels.

In the fourth inning, when the Red Sox posted three runs, Carlton Fisk scored on the front end of a double steal with Lynn. After the Angels picked up a pair of singletons, Butch Hobson made it 4-2 with a homer in the seventh, but Don Baylor tied the score in the eighth, hitting for the circuit with a man on base.
