After coming within three outs of being blanked in both games, the Brewers rallied to defeat the Yankees, 5-4, in 10 innings to split a twi-night doubleheader. The Yankees won the first game, 7-0, behind the pitching of Catfish Hunter, who recorded his first shutout of the season. Graig Nettles started Hunter on the road to victory with a three-run homer in the second inning.

In the nightcap, the Yankees put together five singles for four runs in the first inning, and breezed along behind the hurling of Ed Figueroa until the ninth when the Brewers rallied to tie the score. Cecil Cooper led off with a homer. Sal Bando and Dick Davis followed with singles to chase Figueroa. After Sparky Lyle relieved, the Brewers scored their other runs on a single by Ken McMullen, an error and single by Charlie Moore. Then in the 10th, Cooper singled off Dick Tidrow, stole second with two out and scored the Brewers' winning run on a single by Davis. [The Sporting News]
