Dwight Evans drove in six runs with a pair of homers, including the first grand slam of his major league career, to lead the slugging of the Red Sox in a 13-10 victory over the Twins. Joe Decker, who started for the Twins, walked Carl Yastrzemski, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice to load the bases for Evans' jackpot wallop in the first inning. The Twins, who outhit the Red Sox, 14-9, came back to take a 5-4 lead with the aid of a homer by Tony Oliva, but the Red Sox went ahead to stay with five runs in the third.

Yastrzemski walked, Lynn singled and both scored on a double by Rice. Evans followed with his second homer of the game. Another run scored on a double by Bob Montgomery and an error. The Red Sox counted what proved to be their winning margin in the seventh. Montgomery was hit by a pitch, Doug Griffin walked, Bob Heise singled and Rick Burleson doubled. [The Sporting News]
