Fergie Jenkins hurled a four-hitter in posting his third straight victory as the Red Sox defeated the Brewers, 2-1. Darrell Porter homered in the first inning for the Milwaukee run and only three Brewers reached second base thereafter. Loser Pete Broberg hit Doug Griffin with a pitch in the seventh. Griffin reached third when Broberg threw wildly trying to pick him off first. Griffin then scored the key run on Cecil Cooper's sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
