Scattering six hits, Moose Haas hurled the Brewers to a 6-2 decision over the Royals. Milwaukee scored in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Don Money and in the third on a solo homer by Robin Yount and iced the game with a four-run eighth frame.

Yount began the Brewers' eighth with a triple and scored on third baseman George Brett's errant throw to the plate on a potential fielder's choice grounder by Gorman Thomas. After Ted Simmons was hit by a pitch, Ben Oglivie doubled home two runs and Money capped the outburst with a run-scoring single. [The Sporting News]
