Lary Sorensen unfurled a four-hitter as the Brewers calcimined the Blue Jays, 4-0. Their first run came in the opening inning when Paul Molitor walked, took third on a single by Sal Bando and scored on a fielder's choice grounder by Cecil Cooper.

Robin Yount hit a solo homer in the second and the other Brewer runs came on RBI singles by Sixto Lezcano in the sixth and eighth. The complete game by Sorensen represented the staff's seventh consecutive complete game, a club record. [The Sporting News]
