A winner for the fifth straight time, Bill Travers lowered his league-leading earned run average to 1.73 while pitching the Brewers to a 2-0 victory over the White Sox. A double by Von Joshua and single by Don Money accounted for the first Brewer run in the fifth inning and the other scored on a wild throw by Brian Downing in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
