In a doubleheader marked by hassling with the umpires, the Brewers won the first game, 9-3, behind the slugging of George Scott, and the Rangers came back to take the second game, 5-4. Manager Billy Martin of the Rangers was banished in each game of the twin bill. Pete Broberg of the Rangers also drew the thumb in the opener, while coach Frank Lucchesi and Lenny Randle of the Rangers and manager Del Crandall of the Brewers were ejected in the nightcap.

Scott hit two doubles, each driving in a run, and then homered with two men on base in the Brewers' victory. Robin Yount contributed three hits, including two doubles, scored three times and batted in two runs. In the second game, after Tom Grieve hit a homer in the eighth inning, the Rangers pushed over the deciding run in the ninth on a double by Cesar Tovar, single by Jeff Burroughs and sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove.
