The Red Sox recorded their fifth straight victory, 7-3 over the Brewers, as Jim Rice and Dwight Evans each blasted two-run homers. Rice's blow came in the first frame to give the Sox a 2-0 and the margin was upped to 5-0 in the second on a two-run single by Jerry Remy and a run-scoring single by Evans.

Evans belted his 10th round-tripper in the fourth after Rick Miller reached first base on an error. The loss ended the Brewers' six-game winning skein. [The Sporting News]
