Handing Catfish Hunter his third straight loss, the Brewers edged the Yankees, 3-2. Ben Oglivie sent the Brewers ahead in the second inning with a solo homer and Sal Bando singled home two runs in the seventh, driving in Cecil Cooper, who had singled, and Oglivie, who had doubled.

Brewer starter Lary Sorensen retired 16 batters in a row until Reggie Jackson hit a homer in the seventh. The other Yankee run came in the eighth when Mickey Rivers doubled home Lou Piniella with two out. Bob McClure picked up his first save by retiring the Yanks in order in the ninth.
