The Brewers dealt the Twins their fifth straight defeat, 3-2, with Paul Molitor's bunt single scoring Robin Yount with the winning run in the seventh inning. Yount reached first on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on Charlie Moore's infield hit and moved to third as Jim Wohlford grounded out. Mike Caldwell spun a five-hitter in his 10th complete game. [The Sporting News]
