Mike Caldwell turned in his 20th complete game of the season, allowing only four hits, and pitched the Brewers to a 3-0 victory over the Twins. Roger Erickson was the loser on a five-hitter. Sixto Lezcano singled in the fifth inning for the Brewers' first hit and, after two out, Charlie Moore also singled and Paul Molitor tripled. The other run in the sixth was unearned and scored on a single by Lezcano, who had three of the Brewers' hits. [The Sporting News]
