A three-run homer by Joe Charboneau triggered the Indians to a 7-3 victory over the Brewers. The rookie outfielder's blast came in the fourth inning following a single by Cliff Johnson and double by Jorge Orta. The Tribe added another run later in that same frame on a double by Ron Hassey and single by Rick Manning. Dan Spillner scattered seven hits in pitching his first complete game of the season.
