A string of threes by Darrell Porter, who collected three hits, drove in three runs and scored three times, paced the Brewers to an 8-3 victory over the Indians. The Brewers put the game out of the Indians' reach with four runs in the fifth inning, two crossing the plate on a double by Porter and two following on a single by Tim Johnson. George Scott homered in the fifth. John Lowenstein had four hits in four trips for the Indians. [The Sporting News]
