With George Scott and Dave May in the batting limelight, the Brewers knocked off the Yankees in both games of a doubleheader, 7-2 and 6-3. Jerry Bell was the winner of the opener, gaining his first victory since June 17. Scott and May backed Bell with three hits apiece and each scored twice. May also drove in one run.

Scott batted in all six of the Brewers' runs in the nightcap, two with a single in the first inning and four with the first grand-slam homer of his major league career in the seventh. Tim Johnson walked, Bob Coluccio doubled and May was handed an intentional pass to load the bases before Scott connected for his drive off Sam McDowell. May had a single in the fifth inning, hitting safely in his 23rd straight game. Frank Linzy, starting for the first time in 10 years, pitched three innings for the Brewers before turning the mound over to Carlos Velazquez, who received credit for his first major league victory.
