John Ellis and George Hendrick each drove in five runs as the Indians swept a pair from the Brewers, 3-1 and 9-3. Sidelined with a broken bone in his foot since May 31, Ellis had a pair of singles as the designated hitter in the first game, then hit a three-run homer in the third inning of the nightcap and delivered a two-run single in the fifth. Hendrick, with six homers and 20 RBIs in the last 14 games, touched loser Clyde Wright for a two-run round-tripper in the Indians' decisive sixth inning in the first game, then came back with a three-run homer to cap a four-run Cleveland rally in the seventh inning of the second game.

Reliever Fred Beene came on in the sixth inning of the first game, got out of a two-on, none-out situation with only one run scoring, then blanked the Brewers the rest of the way on one hit to pick up his second victory. [The Sporting News]
