. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After scoring twice in the first inning, the Brewers added a pair on consecutive homers by Charlie Moore and Paul Molitor in the second to assure themselves of a 7-2 victory over the Yankees. Runs in the first counted on a triple by Molitor, infield out by Don Money, pass to Cecil Cooper and singles by Ben Oglivie and Sixto Lezcano.

Robin Yount knocked in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth and Moore accounted for the Brewers' final run with a sacrifice fly. Mike Caldwell, beating the Yankees for the sixth time in seven career decisions, gave up 10 hits but yielded their only runs in the fourth on a single by Willie Randolph, double by Bobby Murcer, infield out by Thurman Munson and single by Lou Piniella.
