A pair of two-run innings by the Rangers offset three Brewer homers as Texas downed Milwaukee, 4-3. Bump Wills drilled a two-run homer after a walk to Mike Hargrove in the third inning and Al Oliver's double drove in the other two runs in the fifth. Paul Molitor, Sal Bando and Sixto Lezcano all hit solo homers for the Brewers, boosting the club's league-leading total to 39. [The Sporting News]
