A two-run homer by Lamar Johnson in the sixth inning was the key blow as the Rangers prevailed over the Brewers, 5-3. The four-ply swat scored Leon Roberts, who was aboard via a throwing error by Milwaukee third baseman Paul Molitor, and gave Texas a 3-2 lead. The Rangers picked up two more runs in the ninth on an RBI triple by George Wright and run-scoring single by Lee Mazzilli. [The Sporting News]
