Driving in three runs with a homer and double, Cecil Cooper sparked the Brewers to a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. Cooper stroked an RBI double in the opening inning and swatted a two-run round-tripper in the fifth. Ben Oglivie knocked in the other two Milwaukee runs with a run-scoring groundout in the first and an RBI single in the third. [The Sporting News]
