After a ninth-inning error by Milwaukee shortstop Tim Johnson gave Cleveland a 6-5 decision in the opening game, Brent Strom, who hadn't won a game since April 9, tossed a four-hitter and the Indians swept the doubleheader with a 4-1 triumph in the nightcap. In the lidlifter, Bob Coluccio's three-run homer snapped a 2-2 tie, giving the Brewers a 5-2 lead in the seventh inning. The Indians bounced back with three in the eighth, with Oscar Gamble hitting his 17th homer and second of the game to highlight the outburst. In the ninth, Frank Duffy was hit by a pitched ball, Buddy Bell singled and Oscar Gamble walked, filling the bases. When Johnson fumbled Chris Chambliss' grounder to short, Duffy streaked home with the winning run.
