Cecil Cooper drove in three runs with a pair of homers and a single to pace the Brewers to a 7-3 victory over the Yankees. Cooper's first round-tripper accounted for the Brewers' first run in the fourth inning and he led off the sixth with a circuit clout that put the Brewers ahead to stay. The Brewers added three runs in the seventh on a two-run double by Robin Yount and Cooper's RBI single. [The Sporting News]
