Lonborg Secures First Win of Season with 7-6 Victory
Jim Lonborg earned Boston’s first win of the year in a 7-6 triumph over the Yankees, despite eight walks and three hit batters over six innings. Roy White drove in the Yankees’ lone run in the first inning as Lonborg, fresh off knee surgery and limited innings, started in rotation. Cleveland beat Baltimore 7-3, California edged Minnesota 6-5, and Oakland topped Chicago. Lonborg’s outing signals a potential return to form for the Red Sox as they close in on Detroit in the standings.
