Jim Bibby tossed a five-hitter and posted his first win since May 13 and first since being obtained June 13 from the Texas Rangers as the Indians won their sixth consecutive game, 6-1, over the Brewers. Buddy Bell's solo homer in the fourth broke a 1-1 tie and the Tribe was ahead to stay.

A pair of errors by third baseman Don Money helped the Indians to three runs in the fifth. The second misplay came with the bases loaded and allowed two runs to score. The Brewers' lone run came in the third on a walk to Money and singles by Robin Yount and George Scott. Outside of that, only two runners reached second off Bibby. [The Sporting News]
