The Red Sox rewarded the relief pitching of Jim Willoughby by rallying for a run in the eighth and four in the ninth to defeat the Brewers, 5-2. Willoughby, who relieved Jim Burton after the Brewers took a 2-0 lead, yielded only two hits in the last 5 2/3 innings.

The Red Sox picked up their run in the eighth on a double by Rick Burleson and single by Denny Doyle. Then in the ninth, the Red Sox broke away with a double by Cecil Cooper, singles by Rico Petrocelli and Burleson, a pass to Dwight Evans and singles by Doug Griffin and Jim Rice. [The Sporting News]
