Taking advantage of loose play by the White Sox in second inning, the Brewers scored three unearned runs to gain a 4-2 victory. Steve Stone hit Jamie Quirk with a pitch to open the stanza. Lenn Sakata was safe on an error by Alan Bannister, Quirk taking third. Charlie Moore grounded to Eric Soderholm, whose throw home hit Quirk in the back, allowing the runner to score.

Von Joshua bunted and when Brian Downing threw late to third in an attempted forceout, all hands were safe to load the bases. Jim Wohlford then came through with a single for the Brewers' only hit of the inning, driving in two runs. The game attracted a crowd of 28,045, putting the Brewers over the million mark in attendance at 1,006,597. [The Sporting News]
