George Scott collected four hits, including a pair of two-run singles, to lead the Red Sox to an 8-4 victory over the Brewers. A single by Scott accounted for two of the Red Sox' three runs in the first inning, all unearned as the result of an error by Lenn Sakata. In the Brewers' half, Von Joshua led off with a fly and when center fielder Rick Miller and right fielder Dwight Evans collided, the ball fell for a triple.

Miller and Evans were forced to leave the game with bruised knees. A grounder by Jim Wohlford scored Joshua. Singles by Don Money, Cecil Cooper and Robin Yount added another run. The Brewers took a 4-3 lead in the second when Charlie Moore homered with a man on base, but the Red Sox went ahead to stay in the third with Scott's second two-run single. [The Sporting News]
