Gene Brabender allowed only three hits and, with last-out help from Bob Locker, pitched the Brewers to a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. Jerry Moses chased Brabender by hitting a two-run homer. Max Alvis batted in two runs for the Brewers with a single in the eighth inning. Jerry McNertney also accounted for two RBIs, one with a sacrifice fly and other by drawing a pass with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
