A crowd of only 3,707, smallest of the season at Arlington Stadium, saw the Rangers lose to the Brewers, 6-2. Joe Lahoud hit a two-run homer for the Brewers in the first inning. Bill Parsons helped himself to the victory with a single, double and sacrifice fly, driving in two runs and scoring one. [The Sporting News]
