. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dealing a jolt to the fading Boston club, the Indians scalped the Red Sox, 4-3. The Tribe got three runs in their initial turn at bat. Rick Manning singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Buddy Bell and scored on a double by Andre Thornton. Wayne Cage then lined the ball over the right field fence for a two-run homer. The Indians fourth tally came in the seventh on a double by Manning and single by Bell. [The Sporting News]
