Getting shutout pitching from Bill Lee and Roger Moret, who gave up six hits apiece, the Red Sox whitewashed the Yankees in a doubleheader, 1-0 and 6-0. Lee was the winner over Catfish Hunter, who gave up only three hits but was the loser on an unearned run in the ninth inning. Fred Lynn was safe on an error by Jim Mason and stole second as Jim Rice struck out. Rick Miller then slashed a single to left-center field to decide the pitching duel.

Tippy Martinez, making his first major league start for the Yankees, was beaten in the nightcap. Rice led the Red Sox at bat with four hits, driving in two runs and scoring two. Carl Yastrzemski contributed a homer to the attack. [The Sporting News]
