While posting an 11-4 record with the Brewers last season, Bill Champion did not gain his third victory until July 6, but the righthander moved far ahead of his 1974 pace by winning his third straight game, shutting out the Indians on two hits, 3-0. The Brewers put together doubles by Darrell Porter and Sixto Lezcano in the second inning to seal Jim Perry's fate. George Scott homered in the ninth and another run followed before the inning ended on a double by Don Money, wild pitch by reliever Tom Buskey and sacrifice fly by Pedro Garcia.
