Breaking out of his slump, Ted Kubiak smashed a homer in the ninth inning to carry the Brewers to a 6-5 victory over the Indians. Kubiak had been riding the bench for several days after collecting only one hit in 45 trips, but he was reinserted in the Brewers' lineup when Ron Theobald still was enervated after suffering from heat exhaustion in the previous day's game.

Kubiak flied out his first time at bat, singled and scored in the fourth and then walked twice before winning the game with a 400-foot drive. [The Sporting News]
