Consecutive home runs by George Scott and Dwight Evans in the ninth inning powered the Red Sox to a 4-3 triumph over the Orioles. Scott's blast followed a single by Fred Lynn and tied the game at 3-3. Evans then drilled a pitch into the seats. Reliever Allen Ripley blanked the Orioles on two hits in 5 2/3 innings. The Birds' defeat was their eighth straight. [The Sporting News]
