With Chuck Rainey pitching a three-hitter, the Red Sox breezed to an 8-2 decision over the A's. In the second inning, the Red Sox loaded the bases on a single by Butch Hobson, double by Dwight Evans and walk to Gary Allenson. A sacrifice fly by Jerry Remy produced one run and a single by Rick Burleson added another. Two more tallies then crossed the plate on a wild pitch and a pair of errors by catcher Jeff Newman. The Red Sox picked up three more runs in the third when Jim Rice doubled, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on a throwing error by Newman. After a walk to Hobson, George Scott belted a homer to give the Sox a 7-0 lead. Hobson accounted for the last Red Sox run with a round-tripper in the seventh. Dwayne Murphy produced both of the A's runs with a homer.

Reds 7, Pirates 3 at Pittsburgh (day game):
A two-run homer by Paul Blair -- his first National League hit -- highlighted the Reds' 7-3 victory over the Pirates. Blair's blow came in the middle of the Reds' four-run sixth inning. Dan Driessen added a solo shot in the eighth as Mike LaCoss got credit for his fourth consecutive win.

Padres 5, Mets 4 at San Diego (day game):
A single by Gene Richards in the 10th inning lifted the Padres to a 5-4 triumph over the Mets. Dan Briggs led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice.
