A two-run homer by Carl Yastrzemski in the ninth inning lifted the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays. The Sox trailed, 4-3, when Carlton Fisk led off the ninth with a walk and Yaz followed with a blast into the right field bullpen. Rookie Lloyd Moseby hit a two-run homer in the fifth for the Jays.
