Two doubles by Don Money paced the attack that backed steady pitching by Sorensen, who notched his 17th win, as the Brewers posted a 5-3 victory over the Mariners. Robin Yount led off the first inning with a single and scored on a double by Money. Cecil Cooper followed with a single and Money, who had stopped at third, scored when right fielder Leon Roberts mishandled the ball.

Money's second double touched off a three-run sixth. Ben Oglivie had an RBI double and scored on a two-bagger by Sixto Lezcano. A single by Sal Bando plated Lezcano. [The Sporting News]
