Don Baylor's 124th RBI of the season capped a three-run eighth-inning rally that catapulted the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Brewers. Bobby Grich led off with a single. Pinch-hitter Larry Harlow walked. Jerry Augustine relieved Lary Sorensen and walked Rod Carew on four pitches. Bill Castro replaced Augustine and retired Carney Lansford on a groundout that plated one run before Dan Ford singled to right to tie the game. Baylor followed with a single that brought Lansford home with the winning run.

Jim Barr pitched eight strong innings for the Angels, allowing only a solo homer by Jim Gantner. The other Brewer tally came as the resuit of an error by Grich. The save by John Montague was his fourth to go along with two wins in his seven appearances since the Angels purchased his contract from the Mariners. [The Sporting News]
