A bases-loaded homer by George Scott highlighted the Red Sox' 10-5 pounding of the Mariners. The Red Sox got four runs in the first inning on a single by Jim Rice, doubles by Carlton Fisk and Carl Yastrzemski and two Mariner errors.

Rice's blast came in the fifth frame and followed a walk to Fisk, single by Fred Lynn and an error by A's pitcher Glenn Abbott. Rice knocked in the fifth run of the inning with a single. [The Sporting News]
