New York scored twice in the top of the second inning off starter Bruce Hurst. Roy Smalley hit a sacrifice fly to plate Brian Dayett and Tim Foli (playing for the injured Willie Randolph) doubled home Ken Griffey.
The Yankees picked up another run in the third when Bobby Meacham hit a solo homer, but the Red Sox picked up two runs in the bottom of the third. Jim Rice singled to bring home Dwight Evans, and then Rice scored on a Tony Armas triple. That made it 3-2 in favor of the Yankees.
It stayed that way until the top of the eighth. Smalley and Foli had back to back hits that led to three runs to pad the New York lead. Armas would homer in the eighth but that's as close as the Red Sox got.

Doug DeCinces added a two-RBI triple in the second to extend the California lead to 6-0. Wilfong (getting increased playing time with Bobby Grich on the DL) added a solo homer in the fifth.
Chicago finally got three runs off Geoff Zahn later in the game but it was too little, too late.
