Roy Howell slugged a three-run homer, Robin Yount ripped a two-run round-tripper and Gorman Thomas and Jim Gantner contributed solo shots to lead the Brewers to a 16-5 romp over the Twins. Thomas and Gantner hit their homers in the second inning.

Between those blasts, Howell reached second on an error by Pete Mackanin, moved up on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mark Brouhard. Howell's homer capped a four-run third inning and Yount hit his two-run smash in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
