The Yankees rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to pull out an 8-7 triumph over the Brewers. Trailing, 7-3, entering the ninth, the Yankees made it 7-5 on a two-run homer by Mickey Rivers. Willie Randolph reached first on an error by shortstop Robin Yount and Thurman Munson walked. A double by Chris Chambliss scored Randolph. A walk to Graig Nettles loaded the bases and Reggie Jackson was hit by a pitch, forcing in the tying run.
