The series moved back to Minnesota where the Twins needed only 1 win to clinch the Pennant. Steve Renko, with some help from Burgmeier and Drago shutout the Twins. Hobson homered and Yaz picked up his 2nd of the series as the Sox win 5-0.
Game 4 gave Minnesota another chance to clinch the series in front of their hometown fans. Jerry Koosman goes the distance, but only gets a 9 inning loss. The home team has lost every game in the series and the Twins hope the trend continues as the teams head back to Boston for the decisive Game 5.
Fred Lynn and Jim Rice were very quiet during the series. Combined, they slugged 103 home runs during the regular season, and had 0 during the ALCS. But in the bottom of the 10th, Lynn singled home Carlton Fisk to clinch the American League Pennant for Boston.
