Two homers by Jim Dwyer highlighted an 18-hit attack as the Red Sox routed the Indians, 10-4. The Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Carlton Fisk and added a pair of markers in the fourth on a solo round-tripper by Dwyer and RBI double by Dave Rader. Dwyer connected for a bases-empty circuit clout in the sixth and a two-run single by Fisk keyed a four-run seventh. [The Sporting News]
