A three-run homer by Ron Jackson helped the Twins end their six-game losing streak with a 7-6 triumph over the Brewers. Jackson's blow snapped a 1-1 tie in the third inning and came with two out after Dave Engle doubled and Mickey Hatcher reached base on an error. The Twins boosted the margin to 7-1 in the sixth stanza on an RBI single by Danny Goodwin and a two-run single by Gary Ward. [The Sporting News]
