Back-to-back, two-out homers in the top of the ninth by Bucky Dent and Brian Downing sent the Brewers down to their sixth straight defeat, giving Jim Kaat his eighth victory of the season with the White Sox, 4-2. Dent and Downing connected off reliever Jim Colborn after the Sox had lost an earlier 2-0 lead.

A walk and singles by Tony Muser and Dent produced the first run in the second inning and Jorge Orta homered in the third. The Brewers got one back in the fifth on Pedro Garcia's double, a fly out by Kurt Bevacqua and infield out by Bill Sharp, then tied the score in the seventh when Sharp doubled on the heels of a two-out single by Bevacqua. Kaat needed ninth-inning help from reliever Rich Gossage, who worked out of a two-on, one-out situation. [The Sporting News]
