While Chet Lemon and Jim Morrison took care of the White Sox scoring, Steve Trout pitched a five-hitter and beat the Brewers, 6-1. Lemon hit a three-run homer in the first inning and added a solo swat in the third. Morrison accounted for two other RBIs with a homer in the second and sacrifice fly in the fourth.
