Moose Haas set a club record with 14 strikeouts as the Brewers defeated the Yankees, 5-3, for their fifth straight triumph. The Yanks had a 3-1 lead going into the sixth inning, but after starter Ken Holtzman yielded a leadoff single to Sal Bando, he was replaced by Rich Gossage.

Larry Hisle then hit a two-run homer. Don Money doubled home the winning runs in the seventh. Haas whiffed Reggie Jackson four times. [The Sporting News]
