A six-run outburst in the eighth inning lifted the Red Sox to a 10-4 triumph over the Yankees. With the score 4-4, Carlton Fisk led off the Sox eighth with a double. Fred Lynn received an intentional walk but George Scott singled in Fisk with the go-ahead run. A sacrifice by Dwight Evans moved the runners along and Butch Hobson walked before Rick Burleson singled to right to plate two runs. When Reggie Jackson bobbled the ball for an error, Scott dashed home with the third tally.

Sparky Lyle relieved Rich Gossage on the mound and was greeted by Jerry Remy's double to right center. Jackson again misplayed the ball and both Hobson and Burleson scored. A single by Jim Rice then capped the inning and gave the victory to Tom Burgmeier in relief of Luis Tiant. [The Sporting News]
