The combined six-hit hurling of Bill Champion and Tom Murphy, plus a second-inning homer by George Scott moved the Brewers past the Athletics, 1-0. Scott's homer, his 14th of the season, was one of only four hits off loser Vida Blue. Murphy relieved in the eighth after Bert Campaneris' leadoff single. Pinch-runner Herb Washington was thrown out trying to steal, and Murphy retired five of the last six batters to gain his 15th save and give Milwaukee its sixth victory in the last seven games.
