Brewers Stun Cubs, 6-5
The Milwaukee Brewers grabbed a 6-5 win over the Chicago Cubs at County Stadium. Milwaukee designated hitter Jim Bottomley was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once to earn player of the game honors. The win was credited to Scot Shields in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Fritz Peterson took the loss. The Brewers, now 59-93, have won 4 in a row.

Had Curt Flood not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Flood hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Brewers.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Chicago manager Matt Ida. "The effort was great."
