Homers by Jim Rice and Carney Lansford sparked the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays. The Sox scored in the first inning on a single by Carl Yastrzemski, and Lansford gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the fourth with a bases-empty blast. Rice, who singled home a run in the sixth, belted a two-run round-tripper in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
