The Brewers, who had been shut out for 30 consecutive innings, ended their scoring drouth to defeat the Angels, 5-2. The Brewers' initial run counted in the third on a single by Rick Auerbach, a wild pitch and two infield outs.

Billy Conigliaro broke the 1-1 tie with a two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Brewers added their final pair on doubles by Conigliaro and Tommie Reynolds and a single by Auerbach in the ninth. Bob Oliver, playing his first game with the Angels after coming from the Royals in a deal, hit a homer and double. [The Sporting News]
