| The Red Sox were held to only four hits by Jerry Koosman, but they included a single and homer by Butch Hobson, who drove in three runs to beat the Twins, 5-2. The Red Sox got to Koosman for four runs in the first inning on a pair of passes, a double by Fred Lynn, another walk and singles by Hobson and Dwight Evans. Koosman then did not allow another hit until Hobson homered in the ninth. [The Sporting News] |
