The Brewers completed a sweep of the three-game series, beating the Yankees, 2-0, for their fifth victory in six meetings between the clubs this season. Bill Travers spaced seven hits in posting the shutout to end his personal eight-game losing streak dating back to 1976. The Brewers scored their first run on a walk to Jim Wohlford and triple by Charlie Moore in the third inning. Robin Yount provided an insurance marker with a homer in the sixth.
