After Clyde Wright won the first game, 7-3, the Brewers completed a sweep of a doubleheader with the Yankees when Kevin Kobel pitched a three-hitter and gained his first major league victory in the second game, 5-1. The nightcap was halted after eight innings by rain. George Scott, Johnny Briggs and Don Money provided batting support for Wright in the opener. Scott drove in two runs with a pair of singles, Briggs batted in two with a triple and Money produced two with a double. Lou Piniella accounted for the Yankees' RBIs with a homer, single and forceout.

Dave May and Scott each hit round-trippers for the Brewers in the nightcap, while the Yankees' only run off Kobel came on Rick Dempsey's first major league homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
