Gary Sutherland, obtained in a deal with the Tigers, made his first appearance in a Milwaukee uniform and drove in the go-ahead run with a sixth-inning single as the Brewers defeated the Athletics, 4-2. With the A's leading, 2-1, Sixto Lezcano singled for the Brewers in the sixth and counted the tying run on a triple by Gorman Thomas. Sutherland then bounced his single to send the Brewers in front. The Brewers added a run in the eighth to clinch the victory for Jim Colborn. [The Sporting News]
