Al Oliver singled in the winning run as the Rangers outlasted the Brewers, 4-3, in 11 innings. Jim Sundberg and Mickey Rivers began the 11th with singles. After Sundberg was forced at third on an attempted sacrifice by Billy Sample and Bump Wills flied out, Oliver lashed a ball off the glove of first baseman Sal Bando to give reliever John Henry Johnson his first victory in three decisions.
