The Red Sox used homers by Rico Petrocelli and Carlton Fisk to defeat the Brewers, 4-1, for their seventh victory in the last eight games. Petrocelli's poke came after a single by Bernie Carbo in the second inning. Singles by Fisk and Mario Guerrero, together with a grounder by Juan Beniquez, added a run in the fourth before Fisk smashed his homer in the sixth. The Brewers' only run off Bill Lee counted in the fifth on a triple by Robin Yount and single by George Scott. [The Sporting News]
