The Brewers won their fifth straight game, 6-1 over the Twins, who lost their seventh straight. Milwaukee snapped a 1-1 tie in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Ed Romero and a wild pitch, and added three runs in the eighth on an RBI double by Ted Simmons and run-scoring singles by Romero and Jim Gantner. Jim Slaton, going seven frames, was the winning pitcher as Rollie Fingers recorded his eighth save. [The Sporting News]
