Yielding only five hits, four to Dan Ford, Lary Sorensen pitched the Brewers to a 7-1 triumph over the Angels. The first Brewer run came in the second inning on a triple by Paul Molitor and double by Gorman Thomas. Molitor had a two-run single in the fifth frame as the Brewers tallied five times with Ben Oglivie, Dick Davis and Sal Bando each delivering an RBI hit. [The Sporting News]
