The Brewers swept a doubleheader from the Indians, 3-2 and 5-4. In the first game, the score was 2-2 going into the last of the eighth inning when Paul Molitor, leading off, reached first base on an error by Andre Thornton, moved to second on a sacrifice by Don Money and scored the winning run on a double by Larry Hisle.

The Brewers trailed, 4-2, entering the last of the ninth in the nightcap but staged a three-run rally to win the game. Jim Wohlford led off with a single and was forced at second by Gorman Thomas. Pinch-hitter Dave May singled and, after Robin Yount flied out, reliever Jim Kern yielded a single to Money to load the bases. Ben Oglivie and Hisle then drew walks to force in the tying run and Cecil Cooper singled between third and short to plate the winning marker. [The Sporting News]
