Carlton Fisk, returning to action after a nine-game absence due to a split finger, knocked in three runs to help the Red Sox defeat the Yankees, 7-4, and end their three-game losing streak. In the third inning, after a single by Bob Heise, double by Cecil Cooper and single by denny Doyle produced two runs, Carl Yastrzemski and Fred Lynn walked to the load bases and Fisk drove in two more runs with a single.

Fisk added his other RBI with a single in the fifth after Lynn had doubled. The Yankees scored their runs on two homers -- a solo swat by Chris Chambliss in the second inning and a drive by Thurman Munson with two men on base in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
