Skip Lockwood and Jim Colborn combined to pitch the Brewers to a 4-0 victory over the Indians. Lockwood, who yielded six hits, was lifted with one out in the sixth inning after giving up a single to Chris Chambliss and walk to Charlie Spikes. Colborn held the Indians hitless the rest of the way.

The Brewers, after scoring a run in the first on a double by Johnny Briggs, wild pitch by Brent Strom and infield hit by George Scott, held a precarious 1-0 lead until the ninth when they iced the verdict with their remaining tallies, two scoring on a bases-loaded single by Don Money.
