Sonny Siebert reached base three times with a single, double and walk, drove in two runs and scored two to lead the Red Sox to a 9-3 victory over the Brewers. However, Siebert struggled on the mound, giving up 12 hits, before Ken Tatum relieved with one out in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
