Homers by Carl Yastrzemski, Jerry Remy and Dwight Evans backed the pitching of Dennis Eckersley and powered the Red Sox to an 8-1 victory over the Brewers to the disappointment of a Milwaukee Stadium crowd of 52,968. The Brewers counted their lone run in the first inning on singles by Robin Yount and Ben Oglivie and a sacrifice fly by Larry Hisle.

Yastrzemski tied the score with his homer in the second and, after a single by Butch Hobson in the third, Remy put the Red Sox ahead with his rap. Garry Hancock singled for his first major league RBI when the Red Sox added a pair in the fourth. Evans homered with a man on base in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
