Picking up his 14th victory, Jim Slaton tossed a five-hitter as the Brewers snapped their four-game losing streak with a 5-0 whitewashing of the A's. Cecil Cooper belted a homer in the first inning and delivered a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The Brewers scored three times in the seventh on a triple by Charlie Moore and sacrifice flies by Don Money and Ben Oglivie. [The Sporting News]
