Posting their fifth straight victory, the Brewers prevailed, 6-0, over the Blue Jays behind the five-hit pitching of Bill Travers. The first Brewer run came in the opening frame on a single by Paul Molitor, double by Don Money and infield out by Ben Oglivie.

The Brewers added two more in the second on a double by Gorman Thomas and singles by Charlie Moore, Molitor and Money. No Blue Jay runner advanced beyond first base. [The Sporting News]
