The Brewers, who were held to only one hit, scored without the benefit of a safety in the second inning to edge the Royals, 1-0. Mike Hedlund, pitching for the Royals, beat himself by hitting Jose Cardenal with a pitch and walking Dave May.

Cardenal advanced to third on a grounder by Darrell Porter and crossed the plate on another infield out by Tom Matchick. Ron Theobald singled in the third for the Brewers' only hit. [The Sporting News]
