Chuck Crim got the win while Jose DeLeon absorbed the loss. Many of the 24,000 on hand were Brewer fans who made the trek down I-94 from Wisconsin. FRANCO DELIVERS 1994: Julio Franco broke a 6-6 tie with an RBI single in the 12th in helping the Sox to an 8-6 win over Milwaukee at County Stadium. Roberto Hernandez pitched three innings for his first win of the season. Also in the game, Tim Raines became just the sixth player in American League history to reach base safely in seven consecutive plate appearances.
