The Brewers got six-hit pitching from Jim Slaton, their 21-year-old rookie righthander, and beat the Twins, 4-0. Steve Luebber, who started for the Twins and gave up the Brewers' first two runs, was charged with the defeat, his first decision in the major league. The Brewers wound up their scoring when Dave May hit a two-run homer off Tom Hall in the seventh inning.
