Don Money set a major league record for consecutive errorless games at third base in one season, 78, as the Brewers split a doubleheader with the Twins, winning the opener, 8-5, and losing the nightcap, 5-3, in 11 innings. Rico Petrocelli of the Red Sox held the former mark for the hot corner. The Brewers won the first game after being held hitless by Ray Corbin for six innings. Money opened the seventh with an infield hit and was forced by Robin Yount, who in turn was forced by Johnny Briggs. But walks to George Scott and Darrell Porter then loaded the bases and Mike Hegan cleared the sacks with a double. The Brewers added five more runs in the eighth, including a triple by Porter with the bases loaded. Tony Oliva hit a homer for the Twins.

In the second game, Bobby Darwin batted in the Twins' first three runs with a homer and single. After the Brewers sent the contest into overtime, Luis Gomez singled for the Twins in the 11th, moved up on an infield out and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Steve Brye. After an intentional pass to Rod Carew and flyout by Eric Soderholm, Darwin singled to add an insurance run for his fourth RBI of the game. [The Sporting News]
