With the aid of two unearned runs, the Brewers defeated the Rangers, 4-3, to end a six-game losing streak. Rangers' runs came on two homers by Jim Spencer and one by Alex Johnson. The Brewers posted their initial run in the fourth inning on a triple by Robin Yount and single by Johnny Briggs. Bob Coluccio added a homer in the sixth.

George Scott singled in the seventh, reached third with two out when Jeff Burroughs dropped a liner by Darrell Porter and scored on a single by Charlie Moore. Another unearned run, which proved decisive, followed in the eighth when Briggs was safe on an error by Dave Nelson, Scott singled and Don Money doubled. [The Sporting News]
