Lew Krausse allowed only two hits in the first eight innings and then was knocked out in the ninth, but Ken Sanders came in to save the Brewers' 5-3 victory over the Indians. Krausse collected his first hit of the season, after 31 futile trips, to drive in a run in the second inning and Tom Matchick hit his first homer of the season in the eighth.

With one away in the ninth, the Indians started their rally with singles by Ted Uhlaender and Vada Pinson. Chris Chambliss went out, but Graig Nettles homered. When Ray Fosse continued the attack with a single, Sanders stepped in to put out the fire by retiring Frank Baker. [The Sporting News]
