Posting his fourth shutout and 15th complete game of the season, Mike Caldwell yielded only two hits in pitching the Brewers to a 7-0 victory over the A's. It was the third straight game that the A's had been blanked.

A wild pitch gave the Brewers a run in the third inning and they added three tallies in the fourth on a double by Dick Davis, singles by Larry Hisle and Robin Yount, a run-scoring groundout by Jim Gantner and another wild pitch. Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie belted homers in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
