The Brewers thumped high-priced pitching acquisition Mike Torrez in their 6-4 conquest of the Red Sox. Cecil Cooper hit a solo blast in the first to put the Brewers ahead, 2-1, and Charlie Moore belted a two-run blast in the second.

The Brewers chased Torrez in the third with a fifth run on singles by Jim Gantner, Cooper and Ben Oglivie. The homers boosted the Brewers' league-leading total to 28. [The Sporting News]
