After ripping into Catfish Hunter for three homers while taking a 6-3 lead, the Brewers added three runs off Ken Holtzman in the seventh inning and outlasted the Yankees, 9-8. Don Money homered with a man on base for the Brewers, while Sixto Lezcano and Cecil Cooper contributed solo swats. Mickey Rivers hit two homers and Dell Alston got the first of his major league career for the Yankees.

In the seventh, the Brewers got their three runs off Holtzman on a walk to Robin Yount, single by Money, double by Cooper and singles by Sal Bando and Von Joshua. The Yankees almost caught up with the Brewers, scoring five runs in the eighth, two on a bases-loaded single by Lou Piniella and three on Rivers' second homer of the game. [The Sporting News]
