A three-run homer by Glenn Hoffman climaxed a five-run first inning that powered the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays. After the Jays opened the game with a three-run outburst, the Sox began their rally in the bottom of the frame when Dwight Evans drew a one-out walk and Jim Rice got an infield single.

Carl Yastrzemski struck out but Carney Lansford and Dave Stapleton plated two runs with consecutive singles and Hoffman hit a ball over the left field screen for his first circuit clout of the season. Yaz tripled in the fifth to become only the seventh player in history to reach 5,200 total bases. [The Sporting News]
