The Red Sox kept one game on the heels of the Yankees in the East division race by bombing the Blue Jays, 11-0, for their sixth straight victory. Fred Lynn knocked in five runs with two singles and a triple. Jim Rice doubled in the first inning and singled in the second to become the first A. L. player to reach 400 total bases for a season since Joe Dimaggio accomplished the feat in 1937.
