The Red Sox snapped a 1-1 eighth-inning tie with two runs to down the Brewers, 3-1. Glenn Hoffman began the eighth with a single, moved to second on a single by Gary Allenson, went to third on a flyout by Rick Burleson and scored on a single by Dave Stapleton. A throwing error by Milwaukee second baseman Paul Molitor on an infield hit by Fred Lynn permitted Allenson to register an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
