A winner twice previously in relief this season, Steve McCatty made his first start for the A's since 1977 and pitched 8 2/3 innings to gain a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. Dave Heaverlo replaced McCatty with two men on base in the ninth and struck out Paul Molitor to end the game. The Brewers scored their run in the first on a double by Cecil Cooper and single by Dick Davis.
