Winning for the fourth time in a stretch of five complete games, Lary Sorensen pitched the Brewers to a 4-2 victory over the Angels. Ben Oglivie knocked in the initial run with a single in the first inning before the Brewers chased Tom Griffin in the third. Robin Yount singled, took third on a single by Cecil Cooper and scored on a sacrifice fly by Sal Bando.

Griffin, making his first A. L. start, then loaded the bases and forced in a run with a pass to Don Money. Oglivie added an insurance marker with a homer in the fifth. Both of the Angels' runs counted on wild pitches by Sorensen. [The Sporting News]
