The Brewers, going into this game with a .216 batting average, pounded out 16 hits in a 12-1 rout of the Angels. Roy Howell led the attack with three hits and four RBIs, while Milwaukee hurlers Jerry Augustine and Ricky Keeton limited California to four hits.

After having been shut out for 19 consecutive innings, the Brewers scored three runs in the second. Singles by Ted Simmons and Howell plated two, and Gorman Thomas' sacrifice fly scored the other run. Eight of Milwaukee's runs came off reliever John D'Acquisto, who gave up eight hits and six walks in 5 2/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
