This match-up was over once it started. The Red Sox hit for the cylce in the first inning with back to back singles from Dwight Evans and Mike Easler, a double from Jim Rice, a triple from Tony Armas, and then a homer by Rich Gedman. That made it 5-0 off Jim Gott with only one out in the game. Gott got got!
Rice added an RBI double in the fourth and Wade Boggs an RBI single in the fifth to make it 7-0. Toronto managed to add five runs between the sixth and seventh innings but the normally shaky Bob Stanley held things down for 2.1 innings of relief work to earn the save.
