Homers by Johnny Briggs, Dave May and Pedro Garcia accounted for seven of the Brewers' runs in an 11-3 victory over the Rangers. Briggs' blast, after a single by Bob Coluccio in the third inning, put the Brewers ahead, 4-3. May hit his homer with two aboard in the fifth and Garcia connected for the circuit with a man on base in the seventh. A homer by Jim Spencer produced two of the Rangers' runs. [The Sporting News]
