Homers by Robin Yount, Sixto Lezcano and Ken McMullen accounted for seven runs and powered the Brewers to an 8-5 victory over the Mariners. After the Mariners kayoed Jerry Augustine while scoring all their runs in the second inning, Yount ignited the Brewers' comeback with a two-run blow in the third. Lezcano connected with two aboard in the fifth and McMullen, pinch-hitting, clinched the decision with a two-run smash in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
