For the third time in four games, Eduardo Rodriguez was the winning pitcher in relief when the Brewers defeated the White Sox, 5-4, on a sacrifice fly by Johnny Briggs with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning. Dave May and George Scott opened the stanza with singles. Don Money fouled out, but Ollie Brown walked before Briggs lofted his fly. [The Sporting News]
