In his third shutout of the season, Jim Wright outdueled Dennis Leonard, 1-0. A spell of wildness proved costly to Leonard, who walked both Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk with one out in the fourth. Fred Lynn then rapped a grounder off the glove of Freddie Patek and Rice raced home as the ball rolled into center field.
