the 6th inning and doubled bringing home two baserunners in the 8th inning.
Milwaukee bats were hot in the 6th inning with 4 runs on 4 hits and the 8th
inning which saw them score 5 runs on 5 hits.  Milwaukee ended up with 20
hits for the game while Toronto had 12.  
 
Darren Holmes(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 innings and allowing
no runs. Jim Acker(0-2) was the losing pitcher in relief.  He gave up 3 runs
