Jim Sundberg collected three hits and drove in three runs, leading the Rangers to a 6-5 victory and snapping a five-game winning streak by the Brewers. Sundberg homered in the second inning for the Rangers' first run, doubled and scored in the sixth and then had the decisive hit in the seventh, driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single, putting the Rangers ahead, 6-1. The Brewers rallied in their half of the seventh but fell short with four runs, including homers by Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie. [The Sporting News]
