Don Sutton and Mike Boddicker faced off and were doing pretty well until the bottom of the second. A Jim Ganter error allowed Eddie Murray to reach base. Wayne Gross walked after that. Then Rick Dempsey singled to load the bases. Rich Dauer flew out to center and then Ken Singleton popped out to Sutton. But John Shelby roped a single that plated Murray and Gross.
Sutton must have been irked from that inning, because in the bottom of the fourth he got tossed for arguing with the umpire. Pete Ladd and Ray Searage rose to the occasion, though, tossing five innings of scoreless relief.
In the top of the seventh Cecil Cooper singled off Boddicker, which was just the third hit of the game for the Brewers. Then Robin Yount singled as well. That brought up Ben Oglivie. He sent a shot soaring to Lake Michigan and all of a sudden Milwaukee was up 3-2. They picked up an insurance run in the eighth and Rollie Fingers pitched a perfect ninth to secure the win.
