The Brewers downed the A's, 6-3, snapping the A's three-game winning streak. An RBI single by Ben Oglivie gave the Brewers a run in the first inning and they added two more in the third on a solo homer by Gorman Thomas and a balk. Don Money drove in two runs with singles in the seventh and ninth. [The Sporting News]
