Claude Osteen yielded only five hits in 6 1/3 innings and Rich Gossage yielded just one more hit the rest of the way as the White Sox defeated the Brewers, 5-3. Sixto Lezcano homered with a man on base in the second inning and Robin Yount drove in a run with a single in the fifth to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead before the White Sox took command of the game in the sixth when Deron Johnson singled, Bill Melton walked and Jerry Hairston batted in both baserunners with a double.
