Randy Lerch hurled the Brewers to a 5-1 decision over the Tigers. Milwaukee loaded the bases in their first turn at bat when Charlie Moore singled, Cecil Cooper walked and Ted Simmons was hit by a pitch. Ben Oglivie then stroked a two-run single. Simmons delivered a sacrifice fly in the third and the Brewers added two more runs in the fourth on a wild pitch and a single by Marshall Edwards. [The Sporting News]
