Jeff Burroughs hit his first homer since June 25 to supply the Rangers' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Brewers. The Rangers knocked out Clyde Wright in the first inning and scored three runs on a single by Cesar Tovar, pass to Dave Nelson, single by Alex Johnson, a wild pitch and single by Jim Fregosi. Burroughs hit his homer in the third. The Brewers' eight hits off Fergie Jenkins, who recorded his 11th victory, included a circuit clout by Pedro Garcia. [The Sporting News]
