1978 – The Red Sox throw 22-year-old Bobby Sprowl at the Yankees and the lefty lasts just two-thirds of an inning, walking three and allowing one hit. The Yankees take the lead and top the Red Sox, 7 – 4, behind Ed Figueroaand Rich Gossage. Boston collects just five hits, including Fred Lynn’s 21st homer. The Yankees outhit the Red Sox 67-21, and outscored them 42-9, in a four-game sweep that will become known in lore as the “Boston Massacre”. It leaves the teams in a tie for first place, and caps a remarkable Yankee march to the top from 4th place and 14 games out.
