Bob Watson knocked in three runs with two homers and Jim Rice also drove in three with a pair of singles as the Red Sox swamped the Royals, 10-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Steve Renko. Fred Lynn accounted for two RBIs with a homer and single in a Red Sox attack that also included a circuit clout by Dwight Evans.
