Roric Harrison, who pitched 8 2/3 innings, gained credit for his first victory in a Cleveland uniform when the Indians defeated the Red Sox, 8-5. Alan Ashby hit a two-run homer for the Indians and Duane Kuiper drove in two runs with a single. Frank Duffy joined in the attack with three hits, scoring two runs and batting in one.

The Red Sox loaded the bases in the ninth to chase Harrison. Tom Buskey, in relief, gave up a two-run single by Denny Doyle before retiring Bernie Carbo on a grounder to save the game. [The Sporting News]
