An error by Fred Lynn, second of the game for the center fielder, allowed the Brewers to score in the 10th inning for a 3-2 victory that moved them into a virtual tie with the Red Sox for first place in the East Division, just two percentage points behind. Hank Aaron homered for the Brewers in the fourth, but the Red Sox took a 2-1 lead with the aid of a round-tripper by Cecil Cooper before the Brewers rallied to tie the score in the ninth.

Aaron walked, Bobby Darwin sacrificed and Gorman Thomas doubled to drive in pinch-runner Tom Murphy. In the 10th, with two out, Robin Yount walked. Kurt Bevacqua followed with a single to center and when Lynn let the ball go through for an error, Yount raced home with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
