The four-hit pitching of Dave Lemanczyk and Tom Murphy enabled the Blue Jays to end their nine-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Brewers. Lemanczyk pitched perfect ball for 5 2/3 innings and then yielded two singles before a blister on his hand forced his exit with one out in the seventh. Doug Rader and Doug Ault each had two hits for the Blue Jays. Rader scored twice. Ault batted in one run and scored another. [The Sporting News]
