The Brewers' 10-game winning streak, longest in the majors so far this season, was shattered with 8-4 and 4-1 losses to the Red Sox in a twi-night doubleheader, the second game going 11 innings. The Brews stepped off to a 4-1 lead in the lidlifter with the aid of an inside-the-park homer by Johnny Briggs and two-run blow over the fence by Darrell Porter, but the Red Sox rallied to tie the score in the eighth. The Brewers' defense then fell apart in the ninth. With two out, Frank Linzy threw wildly on a grounder by Mario Guerrero. Rick Miller beat out a hit to deep short and when Tim Johnson threw the ball away, Guerrero scored to break the tie. Reggie Smith then walked and Carlton Fisk smashed a three-run homer to ice the victory.

In the nightcap, after the clubs went through regulation distance in a 1-1 tie, the Brewers' run scoring on a homer by Ollie Brown, the Red Sox broke away in the 11th. Carl Yastrzemski singled, Orlando Cepeda sacrificed and Rico Petrocelli was passed intentionally. Linzy, the loser in the first game, took the mound again to face pinch-hitter Miller, who tagged his first pitch for a triple. Miller then scored himself on a single by Bob Montgomery.
