The Brewers pushed across a run in the eighth inning to edge the Rangers, 4-3. With the score tied, Sal Bando led off the eighth with a single and moved to third on a single by Ben Oglivie. Sixto Lezcano then hit a sacrifice fly to score Bando.

The Rangers, trailing, 3-1, going into the fifth, tied the game with John Lowenstein driving in one run with a double and Jim Sundberg producing the other with a sacrifice fly. Sundberg hit safely in his 15th consecutive game. [The Sporting News]
