The Red Sox were stopped on their 13-game winning streak by the Brewers, who posted a 5-3 victory on the strength of two-run homers by Don Money and Jamie Quirk. Money's drive followed a single by Von Joshua in the first inning. After the Brewers added a run in the second on a double by Robin Yount and single by Charlie Moore, Sal Bando walked in the fourth and Quirk followed with his circuit clout. Carl Yastrzemski hit a homer for the Red Sox. [The Sporting News]
