The Brewers collected only six hits off Marty Pattin, their former teammate, and lost the opener of a doubleheader, 8-1, but Earl Stephenson and Ken Sanders combined to shut out the Red Sox in the nightcap, 2-0. The Red Sox took a 3-1 lead in the lidlifter with two unearned runs in the fourth inning and wrapped up the decision with a five-run outburst in the seventh, three scoring on a homer by Reggie Smith.
