Backed by Gorman Thomas, who hit a two-run double, Lary Sorensen pitched the Brewers to a 2-0 victory over the Tigers, extending the Milwaukee winning streak to six games. Sorensen scattered eight hits. Dave Rozema, pitching for the Tigers, allowed only five hits but was beaten when Larry Hisle singled in the second inning, Cecil Cooper walked and both scored on Thomas' double.
