The Red Sox demolish the Brewers in a doubleheader, 7 – 2 and 19 – 5. The Sox amass 27 hits in the second game, and are the first team in 30 years to score in eight innings. The only inning in which they fail to score is the 4th, when the first two batters reach base. The scoring deluge makes it easy for manager Don Zimmer, who uses three relief pitchers, each tossing three innings. Dutch-born Win Remmerswaal, the middle pitcher, picks up his first major league win.
