With two out in the ninth inning, Don Money hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to give the Brewers a 6-4 victory over the Indians. A walk to Darrell Porter, single by Bob Coluccio and pass to Bob Sheldon preceded Money's drive off reliever Cecil Upshaw to break a 2-2 tie. An Indians' counter-rally in the home half of the ninth fell short with two runs, one on a homer by Dave Duncan. The Indians drew 22,036 for their home opener, which had been delayed one day by bad weather. [The Sporting News] |
