Breaking out of the batting doldrums with a 12-hit attack, the Red Sox thumped the White Sox, 9-2. The score was 1-1 going into the the bottom of the sixth when Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk slapped consecutive doubles. Fisk went to third on a throwing error by Ken Kravec and scored on the front end of an attempted double steal as Dwight Evans was thrown out at second. Jerry Remy knocked in three runs with a single and double and Rick Burleson had an eighth-inning bases-loaded double.
