A single by Bucky Dent broke a tie in the seventh inning and enabled the White Sox to defeat the Brewers, 3-2, for Wilbur Wood's 16th victory of the season. The White Sox scored once in the second on a walk to Bill Melton, single by Carlos May and safe bunt by Ron Santo.

The Brewers came back with their pair in the fifth with a single by Deron Johnson, forceout by Bob Coluccio, pass to Pedro Garcia, a wild pitch and single by Robin Yount. Dick Allen tied the score with a homer in the sixth. Then in the seventh, May walked, stopped at second on a single by Santo and scored the winning run on Dent's single. [The Sporting News]
