A pair of homers by Dave Stapleton and a two-run homer by Rich Gedman powered the Red Sox to a 7-2 triumph over the Brewers. The Sox scored in their first turn at bat on a walk to Jerry Remy, wild pitch and RBI single by Carl Yastrzemski. Stapleton connected for the circuit with the bases empty in the fourth inning and Gedman clouted his two-run shot later in that same frame. Stapleton's second homer was a solo affair in the seventh.
