After getting two-run homers by Bobby Darwin and Gorman Thomas in their early scoring, the Brewers erupted for five runs in the eighth inning to eke out an 11-9 victory over the Indians. Dennis Eckersley, who had won four straight decisions for the Indians, was kayoed in the seventh and drew his first major league defeat, but the Brewers did their damage in the eighth against Jackie Brown and Tom Buskey on three singles, a double by Darrell Porter, triple by Bill Sharp and an error. The Indians then fell short in their half, chasing both Tom Hausman and Eduardo Rodriguez before Bill Travers came in to stop the rally. [The Sporting News]
