. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bernie Carbo and Cecil Cooper had three hits apiece, including a homer by Carbo, to lead the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Brewers. Carbo's clout accounted for the first run in the second inning. Juan Beniquez opened the third with a homer and the Red Sox followed with two more runs on a double by Cooper and singles by Carbo and Rico Petrocelli.

The Brewers chased Rick Wise in the fourth, scoring twice on two walks and a double by Darrell Porter. Cooper added an extra run to the Red Sox total with a single in the home half of the fourth. Dick Drago, who replaced Wise and gained the victory, allowed only one run on singles by Don Money, Dave May and George Scott in the last 4 2/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
