Jim Slaton yielded only four hits in 8 2/3 innings before giving way to Ray Sadecki, who retired the last batter to save the Brewers' 3-1 victory over the Athletics. The Brewers scored a run in the second inning on a single by Darrell Porter and double by Gorman Thomas before adding a pair in the eighth when Jack Heidemann singled with the bases loaded. The A's collected two of their four hits with two out in the ninth, scoring on singles by Bert Campaneris and Don Baylor around two wild pitches. Sadecki retired Billy Williams for the final out.
