Eduardo Rodriguez, Brewers' rookie righthander from Evansville (American Association), pitched a five-hitter and beat the Royals, 8-1, for his second straight victory. Darrell Porter led the Brewers' attack, hitting a homer with two aboard in the second inning and then drawing a walk with the bases loaded in the third for his fourth RBI. [The Sporting News]
