Hitting safely in his 19th straight game, Fred Lynn smashed a three-run homer to help the Red Sox defeat the Royals, 4-3. Lynn's round-tripper drove in Bernie Carbo and Rick Burleson in the third inning.

The Royals came back with singles by Amos Otis, John Mayberry and Hal McRae for a run in the fourth and tied the score in the sixth when Mayberry and Harmon Killebrew doubled and Fran Healy singled. Carl Yastrzemski doubled for the Red Sox in the eighth, advanced to third after a long fly by Lynn and scored the deciding run on a sacrifice fly by Jim Rice. [The Sporting News]
