A homer by Ben Oglivie leading off the 10th inning gave the Brewers an 8-7 triumph over the Twins. Milwaukee had tied the score at 7-7 in the eighth on a double by Gorman Thomas, RBI single by Roy Howell and Mark Brouhard's run-scoring triple. Rollie Fingers, working the last two innings, was the winning pitcher. [The Sporting News]
