The Brewers moved into a virtual tie with Detroit for first place in the A.L. East with a 10-5 thumping of the Red Sox. Milwaukee went ahead, 4-3, in the fourth inning on a pair of errors by Carl Yastrzemski and an RBI groundout by Charlie Moore, and the Brewers put the game out of reach in the fifth on an RBI single by Gorman Thomas, run-scoring single by Ben Oglivie and two-run single by Sal Bando.
