Creams Shut Out Twins
Milwaukee left-hander Matt Young pitched his team to a shutout win, 6-0, over the Minnesota Twins. Young got the win, improving to 16-3. He allowed 6 hits and walked 2 over 8.1 innings. Young allowed no earned runs. At 81-61, the Creams find themselves in second place in the Federal League Central Division.

Rey Sanchez went 4-4 with a double and 3 singles for Milwaukee. With two out and the game tied in the bottom of the fourth inning, Sanchez, who is tied for 9th in the FL in triples with 5, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Minnesota hurler Hideo Nomo, he hit a run-scoring single to give the Creams a 1-0 lead.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Young.
