Led by Fred Lynn, Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli, who batted in seven runs among them, the Red Sox rallied to defeat the Brewers, 8-6. Hank Aaron hit his 12th homer of the season and 745th of his career to help the Brewers take a 5-1 lead. Lynn, who had four hits, accounted for the first Red Sox run with a homer in the second inning.

The Red Sox began their comeback in the sixth. A double by Cecil Cooper and singles by Yastrzemski and Lynn accounted for one run. After Jim Rice walked, Dwight Evans hit a sacrifice fly. Petrocelli then tied the score with a two-run double. The Red Sox put the game in their pockets with three runs in the seventh. Rick Burleson walked and safe bunts by Cooper and Denny Doyle loaded the bases for Yastrzemski, who broke the tie with a two-run single. Lynn followed with a single for an insurance counter.
