The Brewers defeated the Yankees, 4-2, for only their second victory in 14 games. Rookie Dan Thomas' solo home run in the fourth inning -- his third since arriving from the Eastern League August 30 -- proved to be the decisive blow. Graig Nettles hit his 29th homer, tops in the American League, in the second as the Yankees saw their five-game winning streak end. [The Sporting News]
