The Brewers, who failed to hold a 5-0 lead, came back with a three-run rally in the ninth to defeat the White Sox, 8-5. Gorman Thomas singled and was forced by Charlie Moore, but Bill Sharp was safe on an error and Robin Yount singled to drive in the tie-breaking run. Sharp took third, Yount went to second on the throw and both scored on a single by George Scott. [The Sporting News]
