Carl Yastrzemski drove in three runs with a homer and double to lead the Red Sox to a 9-6 victory over the White Sox. Yaz ripped a two-run homer in the first inning and drilled a run-scoring double in the third. The Bosox chased Reggie Patterson, making his big league debut, with a four-run second frame, the last two tallies coming in on a wild pitch and a passed ball. [The Sporting News]
