Terry Forster made his second consecutive start, but only the fifth of his major league career, and turned in his first complete game, pitching the White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. Carlos May and Jorge Orta homered for the White Sox. May drove in two runs with his round-tripper in the second inning and added another RBI with a single in the sixth. By winning, the White Sox snapped their string of six straight losses to the Brewers this season and eight in a row dating back to August 26, 1972. [The Sporting News]
