A two-run homer by Cecil Cooper and solo shot by Ted Simmons helped power the Brewers to a 4-3 decision over the Twins, Minnesota's sixth straight loss. Simmons slammed his round-tripper in the second inning to tie the score at 1-1.

In the third, Roy Howell doubled and Cooper connected for the circuit. Ed Romero drilled a run-scoring double in the seventh. John Castino hit a two-run homer for the Twins in the ninth before Rollie Fingers relieved and notched his seventh save. [The Sporting News]
