Home runs by Jack Brohamer and Carlton Fisk highlighted the attack as the Red Sox rolled over the Blue Jays, 8-2. Brohamer blasted his round-tripper for a 2-0 lead in the second. Jerry Remy, hitting in his 10th straight game, made it 3-0 with an RBI single in the third. The homer by Fisk came in the sixth after a walk to Fred Lynn. [The Sporting News]
