The Brewers, after building up a 5-0 lead, stood off the White Sox, 5-4, to bring Jim Slaton credit for his fifth straight victory. Charlie Moore provided the Brewers' deciding hit, driving in their last two tallies with a single in the third inning. Slaton gave up three runs in the fourth and then was removed after Bill Melton homered in the seventh. Eduardo Rodriguez saved the game. [The Sporting News]
