A grand slam by Roy Howell and two-run homer by Ted Simmons powered the Brewers to a 7-1 victory over the Tigers. Howell's homer came in the fourth inning after a walk to Cecil Cooper and singles by Ben Oglivie and Simmons, who connected in the eighth after a single by Oglivie. Rollie Fingers, perfect in 1 1/3 innings in relief of Mike Caldwell, picked up his ninth save. [The Sporting News] |
