Alex Johnson singled and Ron Blomberg homered in the first inning to give the Yankees the runs they needed to defeat the Brewers, 2-1, behind the pitching of Pat Dobson and Sparky Lyle. Dobson held the Brewers scoreless on three hits in seven innings before retiring in favor of Lyle. The Brewers counted their run in the ninth on a pinch-double by Gorman Thomas and single by Bob Coluccio.

Don Money, Brewers' third baseman, ended the season with only five errors, setting an A. L. fielding record for his position. The former mark was nine errors by George Kell with the Tigers in 1950. Money had the distinction of being the record holder in both leagues after setting the N. L. mark for third basemen with 10 errors while with the Phillies in 1972. [The Sporting News]
