Five hits by Don Money paced the Brewers to a 13-2 rout of the Royals. Money singled and scored in the first inning, hit a solo homer in the second, doubled and scored in the fourth, singled in the fifth and beat out an infield hit in the seventh. Mike Caldwell tossed a four-hitter in pitching his 12th complete game, tops in the league. A bases-loaded walk to Sixto Lezcano resulted in the first Brewer run in the opening inning and Robin Yount followed with a three-run triple. Money's circuit clout in the second made the score 5-0 and a third-inning sacrifice fly by Jim Wohlford and a two-run homer by Gorman Thomas improved the Brewers' lead to 8-0. [The Sporting News] |
