Although Leroy Stanton hit a grand-slam homer, the Angels had to travel 11 innings before defeating the Brewers, 8-7, in the opening game of a doubleheader. The Brewers came back to win the nightcap, 4-2, with the aid of Gorman Thomas' second homer of the day.

Stanton hit his grand slam off Eduardo Rodriguez in the third inning of the lidlifter. Robin Yount knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded double for the Brewers in the fifth. The Angels went ahead with a run-scoring double by Stanton in the ninth, 6-5, but Thomas homered in the Brewers' half to send the game into overtime. In the 11th, Rudy Meoli and Joe Lahoud singled. Stanton forced Meoli, but Dave Chalk singled to drive in pinch-runner Billy Smith. After a walk loaded the bases, Bruce Bochte drew another pass to force in Stanton, enabling the Angels to withstand a rally by the Brewers for one run in their half. [The Sporting News]
