A two-run homer by Fred Lynn in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Red Sox to a 6-5 triumph over the Brewers. Jerry Remy led off the ninth with a single and took second on a sacrifice by Rick Burleson. Lynn then blasted the ball into the right field stands. An eighth-inning double by Sixto Lezcano had plated Sal Bando, who reached first on an error by Jack Brohamer, to give the Brewers a 5-4 lead. [The Sporting News]
