| Butch Hobson homered after a single by Jim Rice in the fifth inning to provide the Red Sox with a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. Reggie Cleveland limited the Brewers to four hits but needed last-out help from Tom Murphy to nail down the decision. The Brewers' run came in the third on a pass to Tim Johnson, a sacrifice and error by Cecil Cooper. [The Sporting News] |
