George Scott smashed a pair of homers and drove in the Brewers' first three runs in a 7-1 victory over the Indians. Scott started with a solo swat in the fourth inning. After Graig Nettles homered off Bill Parsons for the Indians' run in the seventh, Syd O'Brien doubled in the eighth and, with two out, Scott connected for his second circuit clout. The Brewers iced the game with their final four runs off three relievers in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
