Friday September 29, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

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.

Bob Stanley, making only his second start of the year, limited the Blue Jays to two hits in seven innings before yielding the mound to Dick Drago, who have up one more hit in the last two frames. Stanley's .882 winning percentage on a 15-2 record was the best in Red Sox history for pitchers with at least 15 victories in one season. [The Sporting News]
