Installed in the Red Sox rotation as a replacement for Bill Lee, Jim Wright pitched a five-hitter and defeated the Angels, 7-1. Rice provided the principal batting support for Wright, smashing a homer with a man on base in the first inning and driving in another run with a sacrifice fly in the second. The Red Sox scoring also included a two-run single by Jack Brohamer and a homer by George Scott.
