Jim Colborn, who entered the game with an earned-run average of 10.26, pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing only five hits, and gained a victory when the Brewers defeated the Twins, 4-3. A triple by Bob Sheldon in the first and double by Bob Coluccio in the fourth led to the Brewers' first two runs before they made it 4-0 against Bert Blyleven in the eighth when George Scott and Dave May singled and Darrell Porter tripled.

Eduardo Rodriguez came out to replace Colborn in the Twins' half of the eighth and failed to retire a batter, giving up three runs on a walk, single by Sergio Ferrer and doubles by Rod Carew and Larry Hisle, but Tom Murphy relieved and saved the game. [The Sporting News]
