A single by Ted Simmons in the bottom of the 10th inning drove in the winning run as the Brewers shaded the Twins, 4-3. The score was 3-3 when Cecil Cooper led off the Brewers' 10th with a single and then stole second. After Ben Oglivie was intentionally walked and Gorman Thomas walked on a 3-2 pitch, Simmons stroked a single to right. [The Sporting News]
