Batting support from Ike Hampton enabled John Caneira to gain the victory as the Angels defeated the Brewers, 4-2. Hampton homered in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie, knocked in another run with a double in the seventh and scored himself on a single by Gil Flores. Caneira gave up a homer by Von Joshua in the first but then held the Brewers in check until Cecil Cooper hit for the circuit to open the ninth. [The Sporting News]
