Mike Caldwell, scattering five hits over 8 2/3 innings, pitched the Brewers to a 4-3 decision over the Angels. The veteran lefty was relieved with two out in the ninth after allowing a solo homer by Don Baylor, and Rollie Fingers recorded the save. The Brewers scored twice in the first inning on a run-scoring double by Cecil Cooper and sacrifice fly by Ben Oglivie, and added another pair in the sixth on a run-scoring double by Larry Hisle and RBI single by Don Money.
