Unfurling a five-hitter, Frank Tanana pitched the Red Sox to a 4-0 whitewashing of the Mariners. Carl Yastrzemski cracked a two-run double after the bases were loaded in the fifth inning on a walk to Rich Gedman and singles by Jerry Remy and Dwight Evans. Tony Perez belted a homer in the eighth following a walk to Jim Rice. [The Sporting News]
