Failing in his first start since September 20, 1977, John Montague was knocked out in the first inning as the Brewers erupted for five runs to defeat the Mariners, 8-1. Montague faced four batters without retiring any, successively giving up a homer by Paul Molitor on his first pitch, double by Don Money, single by Cecil Cooper and homer by Gorman Thomas. The Brewers added another run off Rob Dressler before the inning ended.

In later scoring, Sixto Lezcano also homered for the Brewers. Dan Meyer hit a double and a homer for the Mariners, extending his batting streak to 21 games. [The Sporting News]
