The Brewers failed to hold a five-run lead but rallied to tie the score at 6-6 in the ninth before breaking loose in the 10th to defeat the Red Sox, 9-6. The Brewers jumped on Mike Torrez for their five-run getaway in the first, capping the attack with a two-run homer by Dick Davis. The Red Sox came back with a two-run rap by Jim Rice in their half, added two more on a homer by Butch Hobson and double by Jim Dwyer in the fifth and took a 6-5 lead when Dwyer hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

The Brewers' tying run in the ninth came on doubles by Charlie Moore and Don Money. Then, in the 10th, Sixto Lezcano, Davis and Robin Yount hit singles to break the deadlock. Following an infield out, Jim Gantner drove in two runs with a single to ice the verdict. [The Sporting News]
