A very pleasant Sunday in the bustling New England city of Boston. The Yankees will try to avoid the sweep by sending one time workhorse Jim Bouton who is trying once more to come back from arm issues. Bucky Brandon makes his third start for the Beantowners, still looking for his first win.
Yanks jump out in front right away in this one staging a two out rally as Mickey walked rounded to third in a Pepitone single and scored easily on a Steve Whitaker single. The Sawx jumped all over Bouton in their part of the 1st, Reggie Smith, who has ramen over Center Field duties, singled as did Yaz. Tony Horton the simply crushed what might have been a Bouton knuckleball into the netting above the green monster and a quick 3-0 lead. Rico Petrocelli followed with one in the right center bleachers upping the lead to 4. Bottom 2 the home club threatened again, leaving 2 on when Tom Tresh made a nice running catch in left center off Yaz. Bottom 3. Horton put another into the netting that ended Bouton’s day. The Yanks gad chances in the 3rd and 4th outing two on in each inning only to get rebuked. It seemed like the wind only was blowing out the the Red Sox as they cracked two more round trippers off Steve Hamilton, Joe Foy and George Thomas doing the honors. Brandon retired the last nine Yanks going the route for his first win.
