. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Gary Allenson clouted the first grand slam of his major league career, Larry Wolfe hit two homers and Dwight Evans added one to pace the Red Sox in an 11-3 thrashing of the Royals. Wolfe's first round-tripper came in the third inning. Jim Rice added a two-run single in the third. Evans and Wolfe connected for consecutive homers in the fourth. Allenson's bases-loaded shot climaxed a five-run ninth. [The Sporting News]
