Chet Lemon hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to provide the White Sox with a 7-6 victory over the Brewers. Brian Downing was hit by a pitch and Ralph Garr walked ahead of Lemon's drive that erased the Brewers' 6-4 lead.

The Brewers had a two-run homer by Charlie Moore in the fourth. After Lamar Johnson tied the score with a circuit clout in the fifth, the Brewers loaded bases with the aid of an error in the seventh and went ahead with two runs on a sacrifice fly by Cecil Cooper and single by Don Money.
