Bill Parsons scored his own winning run after hitting a single in the seventh inning, as the Brewers defeated the White Sox, 5-4. Parsons had one bad inning on the mound, giving up all White Sox runs in the second on four singles and two sacrifice flies.

Dave May cut the deficit with a three-run homer in the third and Darrell Porter tied the score with his first major league homer in the fourth. After hitting his single in the seventh, Parsons moved up on a sacrifice and crossed the plate on a double by May. Ken Sanders relieved in the ninth, making his 77th appearance, and received credit for his 29th save. [The Sporting News]
