Jim Slaton pitched an eight-hitter in his first complete game since July 30 and the Brewers scored four runs in the fifth inning to beat the Mariners, 5-1, before a crowd of 3,004, smallest of the year at Milwaukee County Stadium. Sal Bando's two-run single was the key blow in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
