Boosting his record to 15-8, Jim Slaton pitched the Brewers to a 2-1 victory over the Angels. Singles by Rod Carew, Carney Lansford and on Baylor produced the Angels' run in the first inning. Gorman Thomas hit his 42nd homer to tie the score in the fourth and the Brewers then put over the winning run in the seventh on a walk to Charlie Moore, single by Lenn Sakata and double by Paul Molitor.
