Knocking out Catfish Hunter, the Red Sox erupted for five runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 11-7. The loss, however, went to Sparky Lyle. Dwight Evans hit a homer off Hunter, but the Yankees had two circuit clouts by Roy White, good for three runs, to help them take a 7-3 lead.

Pinch-hitter Cecil Cooper sparked the Red Sox rally with a triple in the seventh and scored on a single by Bernie Carbo. Lyle then replaced Hunter, but failed in relief. Evans walked and Fred Lynn and Jim Rice singled, cutting the Yankees' lead to 7-6. Dick Tidrow took over for Lyle and was greeted with a double by Bob Montgomery, driving in the tying and leading runs. The Red Sox then iced their victory with three runs in the eighth on a bases-loaded double by Lynn. [The Sporting News]
