After designated hitter Ollie Brown drove in the first three runs, the Brewers added an unearned tally in the eighth inning to defeat the Rangers, 4-3. Pedro Garcia was safe on an error by Toby Harrah in the eighth, took third on a single by Dave May and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tim Johnson. Elliott Maddox homered with two men on base in the Rangers' half of the eighth to account for their runs off Jerry Bell. [The Sporting News]
