A double steal on which Johnny Briggs scored marked the Brewers' three-run start in the first inning en route to a 3-1 victory over the Angels. An error by George Scott enabled the Angels to score an unearned run off Jim Slaton to begin the game before the Brewers beat Ed Figueroa in their half.

With two out, Scott doubled to make up for his error and Briggs walked. Darrell Porter singled, scoring Scott and sending Briggs to third. Briggs then worked his double steal with Porter. Deron Johnson followed with a single to drive in Porter. Figueroa allowed only one more hit the rest of the way, but Angels were unable to catch up against Slaton. [The Sporting News]
