Jim Colborn ended a personal five-game losing streak when he was credited with his first victory since July 13, a 5-1 decision over the Rangers, gained with the help of Brewer reliever Tom Murphy. Milwaukee staked Colborn to a 5-0 lead, getting a pair in the first off loser Steve Hargan on singles by Don Money, Johnny Briggs and George Scott.

Dave May opened the three-run Milwaukee seventh with a double. Briggs stroked an RBI single and, after Scott walked, David Clyde relieved Hargan and was greeted by Darrell Porter's two-run double. Colborn held the Rangers to two infield hits until the seventh, but three singles and a walk gave Texas their single run and Murphy came on to register his 12th save of the season.
