Although yielding three homers before departing after 5 1/3 innings, Gaylord Perry gained credit for the victory when the Rangers defeated the Brewers, 7-6. Cecil Cooper, Sal Bando and Charlie Moore accounted for the Brewers' belts, while the Rangers had a round-tripper by Tom Grieve.

The Rangers broke a 4-4 tie with three runs in the fifth. Bert Campaneris doubled, took third on an infield out and scored on a passed ball. Dave May walked, advanced to third on a single by Willie Horton and crossed the plate when Toby Harrah forced Horton. Harrah then counted what proved to be the winning run on singles by Mike Hargrove and Grieve. [The Sporting News]
