Larry Hisle hammered his 33rd homer and Cecil Cooper, Ben Oglivie and Sixto Lezcano each collected three of the Brewers' 18 hits in a 13-4 rout of the A's. Before the Brewers got started, the A's built up a 3-0 lead, but the Brewers picked up a pair in the second and erupted for six runs in the fourth, sending 11 men to the plate. Dick Davis and Don Money each hit two-run singles.

In their next turn at bat, the Brewers added five runs. Buck Martinez and Robin Yount doubled for one run. After a single by Money scored Yount, Cooper also singled before Hisle capped the outburst with a three-run homer. Rico Carty hit his 30th homer -- and 10th since joining Oakland August 15 -- to account for the A's final run in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
