Led by Dave May, who collected three hits, scored three runs and drove in two, the Brewers won the opener of a doubleheader, 9-5, but Orlando Cepeda stepped into the spotlight in the nightcap and drove in three runs to pace the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory. Ellie Rodriguez provided additional punch for the Brewers in the first game, batting in two runs with a pair of singles. The Brewers piled up 10 of their 13 hits and scored seven runs off Bill Lee, who was kayoed in the fourth inning. Jim Colborn gained the victory, although rapped for 14 hits before yielding to Frank Linzy, who recorded the final two outs.

The Red Sox started the second game with two runs in the first inning on a single by Rick Miller, pass to Carl Yastrzemski, single by Cepeda and sacrifice fly by Rico Petrocelli. Cepeda then provided the winning margin with a two-run double in the seventh. Joe Lahoud hit a homer for the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
