Superb relief pitching by Mike Proly enabled the White Sox to record a 4-2 decision over the Brewers. The reliever hurled 3 1/3 innings of hitless ball to preserve the victory. The score was 2-2 going into the bottom of the third when Don Kessinger singled, advanced to second on an infield out and scored on a single by Claudell Washington. Bob Molinaro hit a solo homer in the fifth frame. [The Sporting News]
