Two relief pitchers staved off a threat in the ninth inning and enabled the Brewers to emerge with a 3-0 victory over the A's. Eduardo Rodriguez, who started for the Brewers, gave up a single by Mario Guerrero in the fourth for the only hit off his deliveries unti lthe ninth when Bruce Robinson and Jeff Newman singled and Tim Hosley was hit by a pitch to load the bases with none out.

Jerry Augustine relieved and retired Dave Revering. Bill Castro then took over and induced Guerrero to bounce into a game-ending double play. The Brewers scored all their runs in the second inning. Robin Yount batted in a pair with a bases-loaded single and the third run counted on a wild pitch by Matt Keough. [The Sporting News]
