Lynn, who had four hits, accounted for the first Red Sox run with a homer in the second inning. The Red Sox began their comeback in the sixth.

The Red Sox put the game in their pockets with three runs in the seventh. Rick Burleson walked and safe bunts by Cooper and Denny Doyle loaded the bases for Yastrzemski, who broke the tie with a two-run single. Lynn followed with a single for an insurance counter.

Orioles 9, Tigers 3 at Detroit (day game):
The Orioles gained their 10th victory in the last 12 games, beating the Tigers, 9-3, with the aid of two-run homers by Don Baylor and Elrod Hendricks, plus shutout relief work by Paul Mitchell.

Twins 10, A's 8 at Minnesota (day game):
After erupting for six runs in the first, the Twins needed a later pair of two-run innings before defeating the Athletics, 10-8. In their opening outburst, the Twins had singles by Jerry Terrell, Steve Braun and Tony Oliva, a double by Dan Ford and pass to Dave McKay before Danny Thompson homered with two men on base. Oliva and Johnny Briggs rapped run-scoring singles in the fourth. Braun and McKay then provided the winning margin with singles in the sixth, driving in a run apiece. Claudell Washington hit a three-run homer for the A's and accounted for another RBI with a grounder, while Gene Tenace batted in two runs with a homer and single.

Yankees 6, Indians 2 at New York (day game):
Working with only two days of rest, Catfish Hunter gained his 22nd win of the season, pitching seven innings as the Yankees defeated the Indians, 6-2. Hunter's departure broke his string of 10 consecutive complete games. Roy White got the Yankee scoring started with a homer in the third inning. After Thurman Munson was safe on an error, a double by Graig Nettles and single by Rick Dempsey netted two more runs. Hunter gave up back-to-back homers by Boog Powell and Rico Carty in the fourth, but then retired the last 12 batters before leaving the game. The Yankees added their other runs in the seventh, two scoring on a double by Sandy Alomar.

The Rangers, after overcoming a 5-0 deficit, rallied again for three runs in the 13th inning and defeated the White Sox, 9-8. Pat Kelly homered for the White Sox in their early attack on Jim Gideon, former University of Texas star, who made his major league debut. The Rangers finally caught up and tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth on a a single by Tom Grieve, pass to Joe Lovitto and single by Lenny Randle. Deron Johnson knocked in two runs with a single to send the White Sox ahead again in the top half of the 13th, but Toby Harrah started the Rangers' rally with a single.

Burroughs scored on a single by Grieve, who took second on the throw home and then crossed the plate with the winning run on a single by Roy Howell.

Phillies 13, Cubs 7 at Chicago (day game):
Mike Schmidt hit his 35th and 36th homers of the season, plus a single, and drove in four runs to lead the Phillies to a 13-7 victory over the Cubs. Dick Allen joined in the attack with a homer and single, batting in three runs. Steve Carlton allowed only two runs on a homer by George Mitterwald while pitching the first eight innings for the Phillies. Randy Lerch relieved in the ninth and was roughed up for five runs, including a grand-slam homer by pinch-hitter Tim Hosley.

Dodgers 3, Braves 2 at Los Angeles (day game):
A homer by Ron Cey with a man on base in the sixth inning carried the Dodgers to a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Davey Lopes walked in the third, stole his 71st base of the season and scored the Dodgers' initial run on a single by Lee Lacy. The Braves picked up a run in the fourth and went ahead with singles by Earl Williams, Cito Gaston and Darrell Evans in the top of the sixth. In the Dodgers' half, Willie Crawford beat out a bunt and was forced by Steve Garvey before Cey hit his homer.

Pirates 4, Expos 3 at Pittsburgh (day game):
A pinch-single by Duffy Dyer in the eighth inning and an error on the hit enabled the Pirates to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Richie Zisk homered for the Pirates in the fourth, but the Expos held a 3-2 lead going into the eighth when walks to Manny Sanguillen and Bob Robertson led to the Pirates' victory. Dyer, batting for Frank Taveras, drove in Sanguillen with his single and when Tony Scott bobbled the ball in right field, Miguel Dilone, running for Robertson, also crossed the plate with the winning marker.

Astros 4, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
With last-out help from Joe Niekro, J.R. Richard pitched the Astros to a 4-2 victory over the Padres. Randy Jones, bidding to become the first 20-game winner in Padres' history, was handed his 10th defeat instead after giving up all of the Astros' runs.

[DH] Giants 4, Reds 2 (day game) / Reds 8, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Back-to-back homers by Dave Rader and Steve Ontiveros in the seventh inning powered the Giants to a 4-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Reds came back to gain a split by winning the second game, 8-3. Joe Morgan stole four bases in the lidlifter, including a theft of home in the sixth to give the Reds a 2-1 lead. The Giants tied the score in their half with a triple by Derrel Thomas and sacrifice fly by Bobby Murcer before Rader and Ontiveros rapped Gary Nolan for their round-trippers in the seventh. In the nightcap, Terry Crowley started the Reds' scoring with a three-run homer in the first. The Reds did not break loose for their five other runs until the eighth. Singles by Pat Darcy, Pete Rose and Cesar Geronimo produced the first run in the outburst and Dan Driessen doubled for two more. After two walks loaded the bases, Darrel Chaney doubled to add another pair. Ontiveros drove in all three of the Giants' runs with a double and single.

Cardinals 6, Mets 2 at St. Louis (day game):
The Cardinals, playing before the largest daytime crowd in St. Louis history, 50,548, chased Tom Seaver in the third inning and defeated the Mets, 6-2. A Jacket Day promotion helped attract the record turnout. Seaver gave up a run on a triple by Bake McBride and a wild pitch in the first before being lifted in the third when the Cardinals tacked on a pair with singles by McBride and Willie Davis, an error on a pickoff throw, sacrifice fly by Keith Hernandez and single by Ted Simmons. Mike Vail singled for one of the Mets' seven hits and extended his batting streak to 22 games.
