Brewers 6, Yankees 5  (47-36)

The Yankees yielded a late inning lead and the result was their fourth loss in five games.  Up 5-4, Goose Gossage gave up two runs in the bottom of the eighth as he fell to 4-8.  It was his fourth inning of relief and all three runs he gave up came on a pair of homers by Larry Hisle.

Lou Piniella was the hitting star in the loss.  He went three for four with a double, two RBIs and a run.  Cliff Johnson pitched in with a solo homer, his fourth of the season.
