Rod Carew was held to one single, dropping his average to .407, but the Twins' star hit safely in his 10th straight game to mark an 8-3 victory over the Brewers. Paul Thormodsgard held the Brewers to seven hits and did not issue a pass while hurling the route. Carew hit a sacrifice fly to produce one of the Twins' two runs in the first inning. Dan Ford and Glenn Adams each accounted for two RBIs. Steve Brye homered for the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
