Four homers, one triple and seven doubles marked the 17-hit attack of the Red Sox in a 12-6 victory over the Twins. Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice and Fred Lynn supplied the round-trippers. Mike Torrez, who was breezing along with an 11-0 lead, took things too easy and was knocked out in the eighth inning when the Twins scored five runs. Tom Burgmeier finished.
