Larry Hisle hit two homers for the second consecutive night and drove in four runs to lift the Brewers to a 6-5 victory, their eighth in nine games against the Yankees this season and their sixth straight without a defeat at Milwaukee County Stadium. The Yankees loaded the bases in the third inning and scored three runs on a walk to Thurman Munson and single by Lou Piniella.

Cliff Johnson homered to make it 4-0 in the fourth, but the Brewers came back with three runs in their half, including one on a single by Hisle. Doubles by Piniella and Chris Chambliss for a Yankee run in the sixth was matched when Hisle hit his first homer of the game in the Brewers' half. Then, in the eighth, Robin Yount singled and Hisle smashed his second homer to give the Brewers their victory. [The Sporting News]
