Last-out help from Eduardo Rodriguez, who relieved with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, saved a victory for Bill Travers as the Brewers defeated the Yankees, 5-3. The Brewers built up a 4-0 lead before the Yankees narrowed the gap with a three-run homer by Walt Williams in the fifth inning. Sixto Lezcano then gave the Brewers their clinching run with a round-tripper in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
