With Robin Yount leading the attack and Mike Caldwell pitching superbly, the Brewers shut out the Red Sox, 3-0. In the first inning, Yount singled, stole second, went to third on an infield out and scored on a grounder by Cecil Cooper. Yount had a solo home run in the fifth frame and knocked in the Brewers' final marker with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
