A four-run third inning proved decisive as the Yankees downed the Red Sox, 6-3. With the Yanks leading, 1-0, Willie Randolph led off the third with a walk and moved to third on a single by Bobby Murcer.

Consecutive singles by Graig Nettles, Reggie Jackson and Bob Watson produced three tallies and Bobby Brown closed the scoring with a sacrifice fly. Tommy John, getting relief from Rich Gossage, picked up his 11th win. [The Sporting News]
