Homers by Dwight Evans and Rick Burleson sparked the Red Sox to a 5-3 verdict over the Mariners. Burleson stroked his round-tripper in the third inning. The Red Sox took the lead with a three-run outburst in the fourth. Singles by Carl Yastrzemski, George Scott, Jack Brohamer and Evans produced two runs and a sacrifice fly by Fred Kendall drove in the third tally of the frame. Evans clouted a solo blast in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
