The first three batters to face Mel Stottlemyre produced the run that started the Brewers off to a 3-2 victory over the Yankees. Ron Theobald walked, took third on a single by Ellie Rodriguez and scored on a sacrifice fly by Dave May.

Homers then accounted for all other tallies. Johnny Briggs hit one for the Brewers in the sixth and Joe Lahoud added another for the deciding marker in the eighth, while Bobby Murcer and Roy White rapped round-trippers for the Yankees. [The Sporting News]
