A four-run sixth inning enabled the White Sox to defeat the Brewers, 8-3, and salvage a split of a doubleheader after the Brewers took the opener, 4-3. Reliever Lerrin LaGrow issued back-to-back walks to Robin Yount and Don Money in the eighth inning to force in the winning run in the opener. Alan Bannister keyed a sixth-inning rally in the nightcap after Eduardo Rodriguez walked the bases full. [The Sporting News]
