A grand slam by Sixto Lezcano in the bottom of the ninth inning for his second homer of the game lifted the Brewers to a 9-5 victory over the Red Sox in the season's opener. After the Red Sox tied the score at 5-5 in the top of the ninth on homers by Carl Yastrzemski and Butch Hobson, Paul Molitor started the Brewers' half with a single and was sacrificed to second by Cecil Cooper.
