The Yankees scored their 15th win out of the last 20 games when they downed the Brewers, 5-1. Pat Dobson was the winning hurler, although Sparky Lyle came on in the eighth inning with two men on to retire Johnny Briggs on a pop out and then blanked the Brewers in the ninth to preserve the triumph.

The Yankees scored two in the fourth on a pair of walks and Lou Piniella's line double to left-center. They added another in the seventh on Jim Mason's home run and two more in the eighth on doubles by Chris Chambliss and Mason and single by Elliott Maddox. The Brewers' lone tally came on a double by Robin Yount and Don Money's single in the third inning. [The Sporting News]
