Mickey Rivers had one hit in the opener and three in the nightcap to extend his batting streak to 20 games as the Yankees defeated the Brewers in a doubleheader, 6-2 and 10-2. In the first game, the Yankees were trailing, 2-1, when they rallied for two runs in the seventh inning on a double by Willie Randolph, a pinch-hit by Thurman Munson, single by Rivers and infield out by Oscar Gamble. Three more runs in the eighth that included a sacrifice fly by Rivers clinched the verdict.
