Dave May, hitting safely in his 14th straight game for a Milwaukee club record, smashed a homer to decide a duel between Jim Colborn and Jim Bibby as the Brewers defeated the Rangers, 3-0. May's homer followed a pass to Joe Lahoud in the third inning. May was hit by a pitch in the ninth and scored the Brewers' final run on a double by Johnny Briggs and wild pitch by Bibby.
