Tossing his 21st complete game, tops in the majors, Mike Caldwell won for the 19th time, pitching the Brewers to a 4-3 verdict over the Orioles. Robin Yount had a solo homer in the first and the Brewers got three more runs in the second inning. Cecil Cooper and Sixto Lexcano singled to start the rally and one out later, Gorman Thomas walked to load the sacks. A single by Charlie Moore accounted for two runs and Yount greeted reliever Dave Ford with an RBI single. [The Sporting News]
