Rice Gedman had four hits and the Boston Red Sox scored seven runs after a pair of New York errors in the second inning yesterday in rolling to a 14-5 victory over the Yankees.

Gedman singled and doubled in the decisive second inning, which Bill Buckner capped with a two run homer.

Wade Boggs and Tony Arms drove in three runs apiece as the Red Sox, who beat the Yankees 9-2 in the season opener Monday, made it two in a row.

Stacked up a big cushion, Boston southpaw Bruce Hurst breezed to the triumph, shattering 10 hits and walking only one in seven innings before giving way to reliever Mark Clear. Bob Ojeda pitched the ninth.

Right hander Ed Whitson, signed as a tree agent after helping San Diego to the National League pennant last fall, was the loser. He allowed six hits but only three of the nine runs off him in 123 innings were earned.

Tigers 8, Indians 1

Dectroit's Low Whitaker drove in four runs with a pair of home runs and Kirk Gibson belted a three-run shot yesterday to back the combined for-hit pitching of Fan Petry and Aurclio Lopez as the Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 8-1.

Whitaker's first homer was a three-run shot with one out in the third inning. Larry Herndon and Chet Lemon started the inning with singles and came around when Whitaker hit one just over the left field screen off Cleveland Starter Vern Ruhle.

Whitaker's second homer was a two-out shot in the fifth inning that gave Detroit a 4-1 lead.
