Handing Gaylord Perry his fifth straight defeat, the Brewers won the nightcap of a doubleheader, 8-3, after the Indians gained a 4-3 victory in the opener. The Indians took the lidlifter with a pair of two-run innings. In the fifth, Oscar Gamble singled, Tommy McCraw doubled and runs scored on a sacrifice fly by Buddy Bell and double by Luis Alvarado. Gamble doubled in the seventh, Bell singled, Alvarado laid down a squeeze bunt and John Lowenstein singled to add the Indians' other pair. Don Money batted in two runs for the Brewers with a homer and sacrifice fly.

Perry held the Brewers hitless in the second game until he gave up two runs in the fifth. The Brewers then knocked out the Indians' ace in a six-run outburst in the sixth. Johnny Briggs walked and scored on singles by Dave May and Mike Hegan. May was out trying to take third on the play, but Darrell Porter walked and when Ken Berry doubled, both Hegan and Porter scored. Pedro Garcia drove in Berry with a single before Money applied the finishing blow to Perry with a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
