Sixto Lezcano, who hit a homer in the 11th inning to win the previous night's game, 3-2, smashed a scoreless tie with another circuit clout as the Brewers defeated the Blue Jays again, 2-0. Lezcano's round-tripper in the seventh inning was all Jim Slaton needed to prevail in his duel with Tom Underwood, but the Brewers went on to add an insurance run on a pass to Sal Bando, sacrifice by Robin Yount and single by Charlie Moore, scoring pinch-runner Jim Gantner.
