A double by Tim Cullen and a single by Frank Howard in the ninth inning gave the Senators a 5-4 victory over the Brewers. Curt Flood, who had been benched because of a slump, got into the game as a late-inning replacement for Del Unser and singled to drive in the Senators' tying run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
