In the battle for fourth place in the A. L. East, the Indians stayed a half-game ahead of the Brewers, gaining a 7-4 nightcap victory after Milwaukee had won the opener with a four-run, ninth-inning rally, 6-2. Pinch-hitter Bob Hansen pulled the Brewers into a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning of the first game with a solo homer, and consecutive two-out doubles in the ninth by Tim Johnson, Jack Lind and Don Money, with Johnson's driving home a pair of runs, wrapped up the verdict for Jim Colborn. Money tallied the Brewers' first run in the sixth when he scored from third on the front end of a double steal.
