Al Oliver drove in four runs with a homer and single to pace the Rangers to an 8-1 pasting of the Brewers. Oliver singled in Texas' first run in the third inning and blasted a three-run round-tripper in the fifth.

Bud Harrelson connected for a two-run circuit clout in the sixth stanza. It was the veteran shortstop's first homer in three years and only the seventh of his 14-year major league career. [The Sporting News]
