A three-run homer by Don Money helped the Brewers whip the Rangers, 6-2. After a fifth-inning single by Cecil Cooper and walk to Gorman Thomas, who singled home runs in the third and seventh innings, Money belted an offering from Rangers reliever Sparky Lyle for the circuit to give the Brewers what proved to be their winning runs.
