Scoring six times on eight singles in the seventh inning, the Brewers came from behind to defeat the Rangers, 10-6. Starter Doc Medich was knocked out and the Rangers had to call on three relievers before the Brewers' outburst ended. The Rangers had a two-run homer by Richie Zisk in taking a 4-0 lead in the second inning. Homers by Gorman Thomas and Ben Oglivie helped the Brewers tie the score before the Rangers went ahead again with two runs in the top half of the seventh. [The Sporting News]
