Jim Sundberg, hitting in his 14th straight game, singled twice, doubled once, scored twice and drove in a run to spark the Rangers to an 8-6 victory over the Brewers. The Rangers scored in each of the first four innings. Sundberg singled in a tally in the first and Mike Hargrove's double plated two more in the second.

A double by Juan Beniquez and sacrifice fly by Toby Harrah produced the Rangers' fourth and fifth runs of the game. The Texans scored two more in the fourth on a single by Sundberg, triple by Beniquez and single by Harrah. John Lowenstein hit a solo homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
