After being held hitless for 5 1/3 innings by Ron Guidry, the Brewers staged a four-run outburst to kayo last year's Cy Young Award winner and post a season-opening 5-1 triumph over the Yankees. Gorman Thomas started the rally with a single and Charlie Moore and Paul Molitor walked to load the bases.
