The Red Sox scored a pair of runs in each of the first two innings and held on to beat the Brewers, 4-3. Jerry Remy singled to start the game, advanced to second when shortstop Paul Molitor booted Rick Burleson's grounder and scored on Jim Rice's single. Burleson then scored on single by Carl Yastrzemski.

In the second frame, Remy singled, Burleson walked and Rice delivered a run-scoring single before Burleson tallied on Yastrzemski's groundout. The Brewer runs came on Gorman Thomas' homer in the fourth, on a throwing error by Bosox starter Bill Lee in the fifth and a homer by Larry Hisle in the sixth. Dick Drago relieved Lee with two out and one on base in the seventh and blanked the Brewers the rest of the way. [The Sporting News]
