Jim Lonborg did it again as the Red Sox won their second straight and took the first game of their doubleheader with the Yankees. He improved to 18-6 and he gave up one run on three hits with eleven strikeouts in the complete game victory.
Lonborg even helped out his own cause with a single and an RBI. Reggie Smith singled, drew two walks and scored a run.

Doubleheaders can be tough, but when the second game is the equivalent of more then two games because it goes 20 innings, it makes for a long day. Bucky Brandon, in his sixth inning of work, gave up the deciding run in the bottom of the 20th inning as the Yankees salvaged a sweep with the Red Sox.
The newly acquired Ken Harrelson made his debut and made an impact by belting a solo homerun in the second inning. Harrelson was released by the Athletics after he was quoted (he says he was misquoted) as saying A’s owner Charlie Finley was a menance. He went to the highest bidder and that team was the Red Sox, who ponied up $150,000 for the outfielder.
