Scattering seven hits, Mike Caldwell hurled the Brewers to an 8-1 victory over the Rangers. The Brewers picked up three unearned runs in the first inning. Robin Yount singled and Don Money walked. With two outs, Ben Oglivie's grounder skipped past Rangers first baseman Pat Putnam for an error, scoring Yount, and Sixto Lezcano and Sal Bando followed with RBI singles. The Brewers added four in the eighth on a two-run double by Lezcano, RBI double by Money and run-scoring single by Gorman Thomas. [The Sporting News]
