The hitting of Cecil Cooper and Gorman Thomas carried the Brewers to a 9-8 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before Lary Sorensen completed the sweep by shutting out the Twins in the second game, 5-0. Cooper had three hits in the opener, including a homer, to become the first player in Brewers' history to reach the 200-hit total in one season. Gary Ward hit for the cycle to help the Twins take an 8-7 lead, but Cooper singled with two out in the ninth inning and Thomas followed with a homer to win the game for the Brewers.
