Butch Hobson batted in three runs with a sacrifice fly and homer to pace the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Brewers. A single by Carlton Fisk, double by Jim Rice, infield out by Jim Dwyer and Hobson's fly produced two runs in the second inning. Hobson then decided the outcome with his round-tripper after a pass to Dwyer in the fourth. Dick Davis and Sal Bando hit homers for the Brewers' runs. [The Sporting News]
