A single by Bucky Dent that knocked in two of three runs in the fourth inning started the White Sox on their way to a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. Lamar Johnson singled for one run to tie the score at 1-1 before Dent cracked the deadlock. The White Sox added their other runs on scoring singles by Jorge Orta in the fifth and Brian Downing in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
