Boston Feuding Ends as Petrocelli Delivers Three Run Homer
Boston outfielder Rico Petrocelli homered after a long, tense game to lift the Red Sox over Minnesota 3-0 at Fenway. Earlier, Carl Yastrzemski and Billy Conigliaro mended fences, while other AL games saw Oakland, Baltimore, Kansas City, Washington, and Milwaukee win. The team focused on the marathon scoreless duel and the game’s length rather than internal feuding.
