Rick Sutcliffe and Jamie Cocanower opposed each other in this one, and neither was very good coming out of the gate. In the top of the first Brett Butler was hit by a pitch and eventually scored on an Andre Thornton double. Mike Hargrove then batted home Thornton with a two-out single. In the bottom of the frame the Brewers actually took the lead on a three-run homer by backup catcher Bill Schroeder, who has played about a dozen games in a row because Jim Sundberg and Charlie Moore are still injured for the Brewers!
But in the top of the second Cocanower would exit the game without recording his fourth out. The Tribe sent 12 batters to the plate, capped off by a three-run bomb from catcher Jerry Willard, giving Cleveland nine runs on the inning. Meanwhile, Rick Sutcliffe settled down and went eight innings for the victory.
