Steve Brye hit a two-run homer in the first game and sparked a rally with a double in the second game to pace the Brewers to 6-2 and 7-5 victories in a doubleheader with the Blue Jays. The Brewers took a 2-1 lead in the opener on a double by Cecil Cooper and Brye's homer in the fourth inning before clinching the decision with four runs in the sixth on a walk and five singles. In the nightcap, Don Money walked in the fifth inning and scored on Brye's double to break a 2-2 tie. Jim Wohlford followed with a double to drive in Brye and Lenn Sakata then made it three doubles in a row to score Wohlford. Von Joshua batted in a run with another double in the eighth and scored on a double by Cooper for the Brewers' winning margin. [The Sporting News] |
