Doc Medich, who had been demoted to the bullpen on the orders of owner Charlie Finley, pitched four shutout innings in relief and gained his 10th victory when the Athletics defeated the Brewers, 4-1. Mike Jorgensen had two hits and drove in two of the A's runs. Pablo Torrealba gave up the Brewers' tally in the fifth on a double by Steve Brye, single by Charlie Moore and grounder by Robin Yount. After taking over in the sixth, Medich allowed only two hits the rest of the way. [The Sporting News]
