Ron Guidry and Rich Gossage combined on a four-hitter as the Yankees whitewashed the Red Sox, 3-0. The Yankees scored all their runs in their first turn at bat. Willie Randolph and Bucky Dent led off with walks and Bob Watson followed with an RBI double. A sacrifice fly by Reggie Jackson accounted for the second marker and a single by Rick Cerone plated the third tally. [The Sporting News]
