Two homers by Fred Lynn paced the Red Sox to a 9-2 thumping of the White Sox. Lynn's first circuit clout followed a single by Carl Yastrzemski in the fourth inning and his second blast led off the seventh stanza. Yastrzemski walloped a homer in the seventh, after a single by Rick Burleson and forceout by Jerry Remy, to cap the six-run frame. [The Sporting News]
