The Yankees, who needed a victory to keep alive their hopes of tying the Orioles for the East Division title, were knocked out by the Brewers, 3-2, in 10 innings. The Yankees counted both their runs off Kevin Kobel in the seventh inning on a walk to Jim Mason, forceout by Roy White, triple by Elliott Maddox and single by Alex Johnson. Doc Medich, bidding for his 20th victory, lost the lead in the eighth when Bob Hansen and Don Money hit successive triples and Sixto Lezcano tied the score with a sacrifice fly.

In the 10th, Jack Lind doubled and John Vukovich sacrificed. Medich passed Money intentionally and also walked Lezcano to load the bases. George Scott came to bat and, on Medich's first pitch to him, singled to score Lind and condemn the Yankees to a disappointing defeat. [The Sporting News]
