A bases-loaded single by Tim Johnson in the fourth inning of the second game highlighted a three-run rally by the Brewers which produced a 3-2 victory and a split with the surging Yankees, who won the opener, 3-1, on a four-hitter by Rudy May. Although they outhit Milwaukee, 11-4, in the second game, the Yankees managed only single runs in the fourth on Chris Chambliss' RBI single, and in the eighth, when Graig Nettles, Chambliss and Thurman Munson singled.

In the opener, Sandy Alomar doubled to start a two-run rally in the third and singled home the final New York run in the eighth. Nettles and Lou Piniella chased the first two Yankee runs across in the third with a single and sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
