Ending a nine-game losing streak, the White Sox downed the Brewers, 5-1, behind the four-hit pitching of Steve Stone. The first Sox run came in the second inning when Ron Blomberg and Tom Spencer singled, Mike Colbern was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Greg Pryor bounced into a double play.

The second tally came in the fifth when Colbern singled, took second when right fielder Sixto Lezcano fumbled the ball, and scored on a single by Don Kessinger. The Sox added another pair in the seventh on a fielder's choice grounder by Bob Molinaro and an infield hit by Eric Soderholm. [The Sporting News]
