The Brewers made a fast start with four runs in the first inning and gained their eighth straight victory, defeating the White Sox, 4-1, in a game stopped by rain in the bottom half of the eighth inning. Singles by Tim Johnson, Dave May and George Scott produced the Brewers' first run and, after Johnny Briggs walked to load the bases, Darrell Porter cleared the sacks with a double on a line drive to the left field wall that Carlos May failed to hold.

The White Sox picked up their run in the sixth on a walk to Pat Kelly, single by Rick Reichardt, a balk and a grounder by Dick Allen. Chris Short replaced Bill Parsons and then was lifted himself in the eighth when Reichardt led off with a double. Frank Linzy, relieving, had a count of two balls and two strikes on Allen when rain stopped the game. [The Sporting News]
