After taking the lead with a two-run homer by Gorman Thomas in the fifth inning, the Brewers scored four more times in the seventh to wrap up an 8-4 victory over the Mariners. The clinching outburst included a two-run pinch-single by Dick Davis. Dave LaPoint, who pitched 6 2/3 innings, gained credit for his first major league victory. [The Sporting News]
