Gorman Thomas hit two homers and Cecil Cooper added a double and homer to enable the Brewers to break a four-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. The Brewers scored their first three runs in the fourth inning. Cooper's double and a single by Sixto Lezcano accounted for one tally and Thomas followed with his first homer of the game.

Cooper's clout and Thomas' second smash of the contest supplied the deciding margin in the sixth. Butch Hobson hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
