The A's swept a doubleheader from the Brewers, winning the first game, 7-6, and capturing the second contest, 2-1. In the opener, the score was 6-6 going into the bottom of the ninth inning when singles by Jeff Newman, Mike Edwards and Wayne Gross enabled the A's to score the winning run. Dwayne Murphy drove home both A's runs in the second game, clouting a homer in the third inning and stroking a single in the fifth to score Rob Picciolo, who had hit a high fly ball down the right field line that Jim Wohlford dropped for a three-base error.
