A bases-loaded double by Lou Piniella paced the Yankees to a 6-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Brewers came back with a two-run homer by Johnny Briggs to win the second game, 3-1. In the opener, the score was tied, 1-1, when the Yankees started the seventh inning with a single by Graig Nettles, who continued to second on an error by Briggs. Chris Chambliss singled, scoring Nettles. After a double by Rick Dempsey and pass to Jim Ray Hart loaded the bases, Piniella cleared the sacks with his double.
