The Brewers ended their eight-game losing streak by coming from behind to defeat the Athletics, 7-6. The crowd of 17,231 at game raised the Brewers' total to 1,106,127, breaking the club's attendance record of 1,092,158 in 1973. The A's built up a 5-1 lead before the Brewers erupted for three runs in the seventh inning on singles by Charlie Moore and Bill Sharp, sacrifice fly by Mike Hegan and homer by Kurt Bevacqua. Robin Yount led off the eighth with a homer to tie the score.

Hank Aaron walked and gave way to Pedro Garcia. Darrell Porter singled. Moore then doubled, driving in both Garcia and Porter for the winning blow. However, the Brewers needed a sensational relief performance by Tom Murphy in the ninth to save the game. After four consecutive walks forced in a run with none out, Murphy retired Gene Tenace and Rich McKinney on pop-ups and struck out Phil Garner. [The Sporting News]
