Breaking up a three-hour, 50-minute game, Bob Coluccio homered in the 16th inning to give the Brewers a 5-4 victory over the Indians. Gaylord Perry hurled the first 15 frames for the Indians before yielding to Ken Sanders, who was the victim of Coluccio's clout.

The Brewers used four pitchers with the victory going to Tom Murphy. The Indians built up a 4-0 lead with the aid of a homer by Dave Duncan, but the Brewers scored twice in the eighth on a triple by Pedro Garcia and three singles before tying the score in the ninth on a walk to Bobby Mitchell and homer by Garcia.
