The Red Sox outslugged the Brewers, 13-11, in the afternoon game and followed with a 5-3 victory at night in a contest that was halted by rain with two out in the top half of the sixth inning. Carl Yastrzemski, who had been in a slugging slump at Fenway Park since May 29, broke loose with two homers, plus a single, and drove in four runs to pace the Red Sox in the day game. Joe Lahoud also hit for the circuit. The Brewers smashed five homers -- two by Johnny Briggs and one each by Paul Ratliff, Andy Kosco and Frank Tepedino. Briggs batted in five runs.

Ratliff homered again in the night game to help the Brewers take a 3-2 lead. The Red Sox came back to win with three runs in the fifth. Ray Culp walked, stopped at third on a double by John Kennedy and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Luis Aparicio. Reggie Smith followed with a decisive two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
