Milwaukee scores 2 in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs to take the first game of the homestand at County Stadium. The Red Sox broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the ninth when Rick Burleson singled to left scoring Dwight Evans from second. But it was the Brewer 2 run rally in the bottom half that would give the game to the Crew.Cecil Cooper (1) and Ben Oglivie (2) went yard for the Brewers. Mike Caldwell had a complete game victory.

The Brewers looked like shades of their 1978 self as the motto "if we aint hitting homers, we aint winning" played true in the 4-1 loss to Boston. Red Sox pitching held Milwaukee to just 6 hits and kept every ball in the yard (allowing only 1 extra base hit) en route to their win on the road. Fred Lynn's 2 run homer, his first of the year, broke open a 1 run tie in the top of the 10th inning. The 3 run extra inning explosion was too much for the Brewers to overcome as relief pitcher, Dick Drago, put Milwaukee away in the bottom half of the inning.
The split keeps Boston one game ahead of Milwaukee in the standings at 3-2 and 2-3 respectively.
