The Red Sox scored three runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 3-1, to snap a five-game losing streak. Reggie Smith opened the stanza with a single and took third on a single by Carl Yastrzemski. Smith was out at the plate on a grounder by Tony Conigliaro, but Yastrzemski reached third and Conigliaro took second during the rundown. The Yankees walked Rico Petrocelli intentionally to load the bases and George Scott spoiled the strategy with a single, driving in two runs. Petrocelli went to third and scored on a balk.
