Tommy McCraw and Rico Carty each homered with a man on base and Frank Duffy drove in two runs with a single as the Indians defeated the Brewers, 7-4. McCraw's homer and Duffy's single came in the second inning when the Indians scored five times. Carty's blow followed a double by George Hendrick in the seventh. The Brewers rallied for three runs in the eighth before Gorman Thomas and Pedro Garcia struck out with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
