A six-run outburst in the fourth inning, including a homer by Von Joshua with a man on base, carried the Brewers to a 7-3 victory over the Blue Jays, who went down to their eighth straight defeat. Opening their big inning, the Brewers loaded the bases with singles by Cecil Cooper, Don Money and Jim Wynn. Sal Bando singled, driving in two runs. Two more scored on a single by Larry Haney and error by Otto Velez before Joshua whacked his homer.

Money added a round-tripper in the seventh to close out the Brewers' scoring. The Blue Jays ended their string of 20 consecutive scoreless innings with a two-run homer by Sam Ewing in the second. Velez also homered in the third to put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0, before the Brewers exploded. [The Sporting News]
