Crashing five homers, the Yankees edged the Red Sox, 6-5. Jerry Narron snapped a seventh-inning 5-5 tie with a round-tripper for the winning marker. Willie Randolph, Jim Spencer, Roy White and Reggie Jackson hit other homers as the Yankees whacked five in one game for the first time since September 25, 1977. The Red Sox had round-trippers by Jack Brohamer and Fred Lynn. [The Sporting News]
