Staked to a four-run lead in the first inning, Bill Travers gained his first victory since April 30 when the Brewers defeated the Twins, 7-4. Travers, who had lost seven straight decisions, was lifted in the sixth inning. Pete Broberg relieved, but the Brewers also had to call on Tom Murphy in the ninth to quell a Twins' rally.

In the first, Brewers' runs counted on a double by Robin Yount, singles by George Scott and Hank Aaron, a groundout by Darrell Porter, single by Mike Hegan and double by Bill Sharp. The Brewers added the deciding run in the seventh on another double by Yount and single by Scott. [The Sporting News]
