Shut out for the fourth time in their last five games, the Red Sox bowed to the Brewers, 2-0, for their eighth straight defeat. Jim Slaton held the Red Sox to four hits before being removed with two out in the eighth inning in favor of Tom Murphy, who retired the last four straight batters.

Luis Tiant, who was on losing end of a shutout for the third straight time, gave up run a in the first on a double by Don Money and single by Ken Berry. Tiant did not allow another hit until the Brewers added their other tally in the eighth on singles by Pedro Garcia, Money and George Scott. [The Sporting News]
