A two-run homer by Toby Harrah and three-run pinch-blast by Roy Howell sparked a five-run Ranger sixth and a 6-4 victory over the Brewers. Harrah's homer followed a single by Lenny Randle off starter Bill Travers, who departed after a double by Jeff Burroughs and a base on balls. Howell, batting for Leo Cardenas, hit the first pitch off reliever Eduardo Rodriguez.

The loss was the Brewers' eighth straight at County Stadium, which had a two-alarm fire in a storage area beneath the grandstand in the morning. Power was restored 2½ hours prior to the game. [The Sporting News]
