With Luis Tiant scattering eight hits, the Red Sox blanked the Brewers, 4-0. The Sox scored three of their runs in the second inning. Singles by Carl Yastrzemski, Fred Lynn and Dwight Evans loaded the bases and a single by Bob Bailey drove in the first tally. A walk to Butch Hobson forced in another and a single by Rick Burleson accounted for the third. The Sox added their final marker in the eighth on a walk to Jim Rice, double by Yastrzemski and single by Evans. [The Sporting News]
