Luis Tiant pitched his fourth consecutive shoutout and Carl Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer as the Red Sox won the first game of a doubleheader, 2-0, but four former Boston players helped the Brewers gain a 6-2 victory in the second game. Syd O'Brien and Joe Lahoud smashed homers, George Scott rapped three hits and Ken Brett was the winning pitcher, posting his first victory since July 7. [The Sporting News]
