In the top of the fourth, Conigliaro hit his 20th double of the season.
In the top of the fifth, Scott brought a run in with an RBI single. Briggs tried to do the same but Ford through Scott out at home trying to score from second. Rodriguez, however, did come up with an RBI single. Conigliaro did as well with the Brewers 10th hit of the game. Broberg was pulled at that point and Jan Dukes made his first appearance of the season as he took the mound for the Rangers and got the final out of the inning.
Billings beat out an infield single to get an RBI and put the Rangers on the board in the bottom of the sixth.
After six: Milwaukee 6 Texas 1.
In the bottom of the seventh, Harris hit his 10th double of the season. With Harris on third and one out, Mike W Thompson replaced Ryerson on the mound for Milwaukee. The very first batter Thompson faced this season, Maddox. drove in a run with a single. Howard added a 2-run double and suddenly we had a ballgame.
