After the first nine batters went down in order, five of them on strikeouts, the Brewers ripped into Tommy John for four runs in the fourth inning and defeated the White Sox, 5-2. Tommy Harper drew a walk to become the Brewers' first baserunner, took third on a single by Ron Theobald and scored when Rich McKinney threw wildly on a grounder by Roberto Pena. Andy Kosco tripled to drive in two runs and crossed the plate himself on a single by Dave May. [The Sporting News]
