Behind Mike Paxton's four-hitter and the productive bats of Bernie Carbo and Denny Doyle, the Red Sox romped to a 12-0 decision over the Brewers. Carbo plated the winners' first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and hit a two-run homer to climax the Sox' six-run third.

Fred Lynn and Jim Rice hit run-scoring doubles while Carlton Fisk and Butch Hobson had RBI singles before Carbo finished loser Sam Hinds with his homer. Rice and Hobson added solo homers in the fifth and eighth, with Doyle capping the Boston scoring in the eighth with a three-run blast. [The Sporting News]
