Kevin Kobel, the Brewers' 20-year-old lefthander, gained a 5-2 decision for his second major league victory, both at the expense of the Yankees, whom he beat previously, 5-1 on May 12. This time the youngster needed help from Tom Murphy in the eighth inning after the Yankees scored their two runs on a double by Lou Piniella and homer by Bill Sudakis.

The Brewers had two homers, one by Dave May in the first inning and the other by Johnny Briggs in the sixth. In between, the Brewers counted twice in the second. Bobby Mitchell walked and, running with the pitch. scored from first base on a single by Pedro Garcia, who took second on the throw and crossed the plate on a single by Robin Yount. An error and a double by Don Money added a run in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
