The Brewers were held to four hits by Gaylord Perry, but a run-scoring triple by Rick Auerbach in the second inning and a homer by Joe Lahoud in the fourth helped them defeat the Indians' 20-game winner, 3-1. The Brewers' other run off Perry was unearned. Likewise, an error tainted the Indians' tally off Jerry Bell in the second inning. [The Sporting News]
