  The Milwaukee Brewers faced the Detroit Tigers at Tiger Stadium for a Sunday afternoon game on May 8, 1977.
• 0:14
  Milwaukee was a pretty bad team entering the 1977 season, having lost more than 90 games in six of the franchise's first eight seasons.
• 0:22
  But they entered the 1977 season with a new manager, Alex Gramis, one of the assistant coaches under Sparky Anderson's Cincinnati Reds juggernaut.
• 0:31
  Detroit was managed by Ralph Hauk and were an average team.
• 0:34
  While they had already shed many of their veterans that gave them some success in the early 1970s, their real future was still all in the farm system.
• 0:41
  This audio recording is from the Detroit Radio broadcast featuring announcers Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.
• 0:47
  John Joshua stepping into the batter's box to lead it off against Fern Rule as for the moment the clouds move in and obscure the sun here at Tiger Stadium.
• 1:00
  Rule looking in here for the play-by-play is Ernie Harwell.
• 1:04
  Thank you Paul Carey, ready to go to wind up in the pitch. He punts the ball toward first.
• 1:08
  Thompson feels it, makes the play unassisted, tagging the runner coming down the line. There's one away.
• 1:14
  Jason grabbed that bunt, it was a rather hard one, got all the way to first base and then raced over and tagged Joshua before he could get to the bag.
• 1:24
  Robin Yutt will be the batter now, one pitch and one away.
• 1:29
  Robin a right hand hitting shortstop.
• 1:34
  I feel playing him straight away and Rule delivers. Yutt takes a cut and misses, strike one.
• 1:45
  He's batting 284 in 25 games, a couple of home runs at nine RBIs. Bright and sunny on Mother's Day in Detroit, but very breezy.
• 1:55
  The wind coming from third base toward first. Here's a drive to left, it may be all the way, it's hooking.
• 2:01
  It is a foul ball. Oh that was close.
• 2:06
  It made the seat but it hooked in the foul territory. Well that one started out fair by some eight to ten yards.
• 2:13
  But it had such a severe hook that it ended up in foul territory.
• 2:17
  And the odd thing is we've got a terrific wind blowing in from the left field corner across the field.
• 2:22
  Had the ball gotten up at all, would have straightened it out somewhat.
• 2:28
  Just a long strike, two strikes on Robin Yutt.
• 2:32
  Rule ready to work again, he delivers. It's a fast ball outside.
• 2:38
  Tiger infield, Mankowski at third, Verizon back in action at short.
• 2:42
  Bwedi is at second, Thompson back in action at first base.
• 2:46
  In the outfield camp and left the floor center, Ogilvie right.
• 2:49
  Here's a foul upstairs. One and two, the count on Robin.
• 2:55
  Milwaukee has dropped out of first place.
• 2:58
  They are now one full game back of the league leading Yankees.
• 3:02
  Or to be correct, I guess I should say the division leading Yankees.
• 3:07
  And the Brewers have lost four straight. There's a ball outside, two-two on Yutt.
• 3:24
  Rule checks his sign with Milt May about ready for action again. It's a two-two count.
• 3:30
  Swing and a tap or a foul rolling in the dirt over to the on-deck circle where Cooper's waiting.
• 3:37
  Seventh start of the year for Vern Rule.
• 3:41
  All his appearances have been a start-up.
• 3:44
  And it's his first time out against the Brewers.
• 3:47
  He beat them twice last year, two at all, against them last season.
• 3:51
  There's a ball, oh, he missed the far corner.
• 3:56
  Full count on Robin Young.
• 4:02
  That is a very strong breeze whipping in from left field.
• 4:07
  And it's swirling down around the home plate area.
• 4:10
  Time call by umpire Rich Garcia.
• 4:20
  Rule sets and pitches. Here's a foul on the screen.
• 4:24
  In the umpire's room talking to Rich as he was rubbing up the baseballs with that Delaware mud we've been telling you about.
• 4:31
  Mr. Shalak said, yep, the price has gone up. It's not $28 a can anymore. It's now $50 a can.
• 4:40
  There's a loop. We hit the right field. It is a fair ball down the line.
• 4:44
  He'll go for two. Up for the ball is Ogilvy.
• 4:47
  And it is a two-base hit for Robin Young. A little slicing pop fly that fell in fair territory by a foot.
• 4:55
  Joe Brinkman was saying that when the umpires worked in the minor leagues that they had to dig their own dirt.
• 5:03
  And they would have a spot. They'd find a favorite spot around the ballpark and then wouldn't tell the other umpires because you had to have your own spot.
• 5:11
  You didn't want anybody encroaching.
• 5:14
  And sometimes you'd have to sit out in a car in the parking lot and they'd give you 12 baseballs to rub up.
• 5:20
  Up here in the majors it's usually about 60, 65.
• 5:24
  Here's Cooper at the plate now.
• 5:27
  Man on second base. That's Yonk with a double. One man down.
• 5:31
  Well, this one has just started. It's the first inning in Detroit.
• 5:37
  Left hander batting. Cooper takes a strike. Rule hit the outside corner with a fastball.
• 5:42
  Cooper, the leading hitter on the team, at 333 with four home runs, 16 runs batted in.
• 5:51
  No score first inning, but the Brewers have a man at second and one away.
• 5:56
  Very wide. That one slipped away from Rule. High and outside a breaking ball.
• 6:05
  It's about the biggest win we've seen this year I think, Paul.
• 6:09
  That's knocking the shutters of our booth all around the place.
• 6:12
  Blowing paper all over the place. Now Rule sets hold at the belt.
• 6:17
  There's a cut and a miss. Breaking ball about knee high and over the plate.
• 6:23
  We'll have a lot of other games to bring you scores from, but so far there are no games reporting in.
• 6:33
  One ball, two strikes. That's the count on Cooper.
• 6:41
  He swings a line shot. Base hit. Left field. Yonk goes to third. The ball picked up by Kemp. Yonk will hold at third.
• 6:48
  Here's a throw cut off by Mankowski near the mound. Runners at first and third.
• 6:54
  Yonk might have scored on that blow, but he went back toward second as Rule delivered to the plate.
• 6:59
  And that cost him a couple of steps and he couldn't get past third.
• 7:03
  Here's Sal Bando.
• 7:11
  Bando had a home run yesterday. The first has a Brewer. He's hitting 244, has 12 RBI.
• 7:23
  In field and double play depth on Sal. He stands very deep in the bat as box. Likes to move into the pitch.
• 7:31
  Rule sets and delivers and Bando takes the ball outside.
• 7:38
  Bern Rule in early trouble here in the third and final game of the series.
• 7:57
  Bando waiting. Cooper at first base. Yonk coming down the line a little bit at third.
• 8:01
  Now the 1-0 pitch is cut on to third base over to second one. Relay to first. Double play by the Tigers.
• 8:08
  Mankowski to 20. Houston Thompson has still got rid of the ball. In a big hurry. It was a slow high hopper, but he converted it into a double play.
• 8:17
  No runs, two hits, no errors. One man left at the end of a half inning. Milwaukee nothing. The Detroit Tigers coming to bat.
• 8:24
  Hi, I'm Ernie Harwell and I'm here with a couple of competitors in the Chrysler Plymouth Dealers Honorary Tiger Batboy Contest.

  Oh, there's one more thing.

  Yes, Katie?

• 9:16
  Well, anyway, see you're participating Greater Detroit Chrysler Plymouth Dealer soon.
• 9:34
  Here's a Tiger wedding anniversary salute to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Raschke.
• 9:42
  Mr. Raschke also celebrating his birthday on this date.
• 9:47
  Loyal Tiger fans from Detroit, and we wish them continued happiness.
• 9:57
  Rookie right-hander Moose Haas is on the mound for Milwaukee. Tuning up now, Moose's first name is Brian.
• 10:04
  He's a native of Baltimore, makes his home in Owens Mill, Maryland right now, which is just out there in the valley.
• 10:10
  Outside of the city of Baltimore, he's a 20-year-old pitcher.
• 10:15
  And last year worked against the Tigers.
• 10:20
  On the final day of the season, worked three innings in relief.
• 10:24
  He had a record last year, going one with the Brewers after coming up from Spokane, where he won 13 and dropped nine.
• 10:35
  Here's Ron LaFleur, the first man to test the rookie right-hander in his first time out against the Tigers.
• 10:41
  LaFleur batting 242.
• 10:45
  Takes a fastball, and this young man throws hard. Ball one, the count on Ron.
• 10:51
  Brewers had a threat going, but a fine double play by the Tigers killed it off.
• 10:59
  Outside with a fastball.
• 11:03
  Two and all, the count of the leadoff man, LaFleur.
• 11:09
  Mando at third, young playing short, money at second, Cooper at first in the Milwaukee infield.
• 11:14
  There's a strike. He fed him a fastball in the inside corner.
• 11:19
  Dan Thomas is in left field today. Joshua in center, and Lescano is in right.
• 11:28
  And the right-hander, Haas, in the motion delivers.
• 11:31
  Here's a breaking pitch over, a good pitch, just above the knees, 2-2.
• 11:44
  Tito Apoade is waiting at the on-deck circle for the Tigers.
• 11:48
  Here's the windup on the pitch. He swings and misses a slow curve, fooled him.
• 11:55
  Haas strikes out the first man he faces.
• 11:59
  And here's Tito stepping in to see what he can do.
• 12:03
  Bwende is hitting 3-26, still hitting much better right-handed than left.
• 12:07
  He's batting left-handed this afternoon.
• 12:11
  Tigers have seen a lot of left-hand pitches, but today they're looking to the right-hander.
• 12:21
  Against right-handers, they've won six and lost eight.
• 12:23
  Against left-handers, they've won four and lost six. Not a great deal of difference.
• 12:32
  Tito looks, it's a strike called. He seemed to be ready to bump that ball, but he did not offer on it.
• 12:39
  No score for a sitting. Tigers and the Brewers at Tigers Stadium.
• 12:46
  Here comes, he takes a strike on the outside corner.
• 13:01
  Haas looks for the sign from his catcher, Charlie Moore.
• 13:05
  He's coming to the wind up to the very wide one and two, the Count on Fuentes.
• 13:22
  Swing, there's a fly ball lifted to right fairly deep, Lescano going back and makes the catch on the warning track.
• 13:28
  The wind playing tricks with that one.
• 13:31
  Lescano is able to follow it and pull it in for the off.
• 13:40
  Ernie, I'm going to run for some hammer and nails here to nail things down. This wind is really terrific today.
• 13:45
  Matt matches.
• 13:49
  Rusty stops about an hour, two down.
• 13:57
  Rusty with a 221 batting mark.
• 14:01
  He takes the ball in close, low and inside on trusty Rusty ball one. No score for a sitting.
• 14:14
  Haas delivers fastball outside two at oh, the Count on Stobb.
• 14:29
  Here's the wind up and the pitch on the way right through the heart of the plate for a strike.
• 14:44
  Rusty chugging that stick waiting. Here it comes.
• 14:47
  Rusty swings and there's a line shot by about five feet down the first base way.
• 14:59
  Breeze almost directly in from left field toward the plate.
• 15:02
  Now, once in a while, it'll seem to be blowing across in third toward first.
• 15:06
  Might help a ball to right field slightly.
• 15:08
  Here's the pitch to stop. Swing and a foul hit out of play. That one in the dirt behind the plate.
• 15:22
  No game for the Tigers tomorrow. They resume action Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins.
• 15:27
  Bob Sykes versus Pete Redford in that first game and Dave Roberts against Jeff Hahn in the second and final game of the home stand.
• 15:34
  Here's a foul fly out of play on the rooftop over back a third.
• 15:51
  So young Mr. Haas, a 20 year old right handed pitching again, a two to delivery swung on a bounding ball is short.
• 15:58
  Hard hop out of the glove of Yonnie throws over to Cooper and the Tigers are out one, two, three.
• 16:04
  No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left that at the end of one Detroit nothing Milwaukee nothing.
• 16:12
  JPMccarthy's focus. 12-15 to one afternoons on WJR.
• 16:21
  I worked on a showboat once before in Lowell, Michigan. They told me if I was a hit there it could mean chestnut.
• 16:28
  So I had to come back and pay that off. I mean no it's a great pleasure to do it. I like showboats.
• 16:33
  Please help me welcome the very lovely Arlene Doll.
• 16:38
  That's why when people say what do you think of women's lip and have you never felt put upon?
• 16:43
  I said no because I was in an industry where men and women were judged according to their personality and their talent.
• 16:49
  Oh thank you. Thank you.
• 16:52
  For sure I failed in a lot of things but I realized that you know I was young and you make mistakes
• 16:59
  and I think that from your failures a lot of good comes out of them.
• 17:02
  JPMccarthy's focus. 12-15 to one afternoons on WJR.
• 17:10
  To help you better understand the issues and developments in your busy world,
• 17:13
  WJR presents memorandum notes and comments on the passing scene.
• 17:17
  Here at Three Times Daily on WJR.
• 17:26
  Well we'd like to salute on birthday. It comes up tomorrow.
• 17:30
  The mother of a gentleman out on Mount Elliot. Great Tiger fan Mr. George Stelt.
• 17:37
  Mother is a great Tiger fan also and she'll reach the age of 90 tomorrow.
• 17:42
  Congratulations and best wishes.
• 17:45
  Well here's Dan Thomas to lead off against Vern Ruhl.
• 17:48
  Dan missed the first two games because of his religious conviction.
• 17:52
  He's a left fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers and he takes a cut and misses on the first pitch.
• 18:03
  Tall, lanky, right hand batting Thomas.
• 18:06
  He's hitting.256. Swings is a drive at the center field left center.
• 18:12
  The floor there makes a catch. The wind definitely held up that ball.
• 18:17
  Hit pretty hard but it ended up in fairly deep left of the field.
• 18:22
  One up and one away and 6th Stole Escalo will be the batter.
• 18:31
  Right hand batting right fielder. He's put on a little heft since he broke into the major leagues.
• 18:38
  6th Stole came in at a very tender age. He's only 23 now and he broke in back in 74 in the majors.
• 18:45
  71 an organized ball.
• 18:48
  Right hand batting waiting and the pitch is swung on and popped in the air.
• 18:51
  Short set of field going back for what is the wind will play havoc with this one.
• 18:55
  And here comes Ogleday. Ogleday makes the catch.
• 18:58
  And it ended up in right field.
• 19:03
  Jojo White told us one time about a fly ball hit the center field that was caught down in the left field foul territory.
• 19:10
  And after looking at this wind I'm almost ready to believe him.
• 19:17
  Although Jojo is a teller of tall tales.
• 19:22
  He's down to money at the plate and he takes a strike.
• 19:26
  Money batting 221 no score.
• 19:31
  Second inning Milwaukee at bat.
• 19:33
  Roll delivers strike called.
• 19:36
  Rich Garcia said so. Two strikes now on money.
• 19:43
  In field back outfield fairly deep.
• 19:46
  He takes a ball just off the corner.
• 19:49
  One ball and two strikes.
• 19:52
  Mike Hagan in the regular lineup today as a designated batter is on deck.
• 19:58
  Here's a strike called he struck him out.
• 20:01
  Money drops his bat right on top of the plate and it goes out to his second base position.
• 20:06
  No runs no hits no arrows and nobody left at the end of one and a half innings.
• 20:10
  Milwaukee nothing Detroit nothing.
• 20:12
  When Bob McDaniel goes to work at a catcracker at the Marathon refinery in Robinson Illinois.
• 20:18
  He doesn't work alone.
• 20:20
  He gets together with Eldon Cooper Keith Mason and Bernard Ferguson.
• 20:23
  And together they go about the business of turning heavy oils into gasoline and fuel oil.
• 20:28
  Bob McDaniel could work alone.
• 20:30
  The job wouldn't get done as well or at all without the help of Eldon, Keith and Bernard.
• 20:35
  Because each of them brings something special to the job.
• 20:38
  They get together to do it better.
• 20:41
  A company is like its people because it is people.
• 20:44
  When Marathon found oil our oil people got together with some pipeline people.
• 20:49
  We got together with some refining people.
• 20:51
  We got together with some service station people.
• 20:54
  So we could do it better.
• 20:56
  We got together to do it better.
• 21:03
  We're Marathon.
• 21:09
  Marathon Oil Company.
• 21:11
  We got together to do it better.
• 21:22
  Tigers coming about now against the young Moose Haas in the last half of the second.
• 21:29
  Moose says he got his nickname because when he was born not because he is very big but when he was born his father just figured he'd be a big boy.
• 21:38
  So he said we'll call him Moose.
• 21:44
  Remember Mule Haas who played in the American League mostly with the Philadelphia A's outfielder.
• 21:50
  Then there was Bruno Haas a little bit later on.
• 21:53
  Here's Ben Oglevay who bat now against the Moose Haas.
• 21:58
  No score second inning.
• 22:01
  And Ben takes a fastball low ball one.
• 22:06
  Ben batting two fifty eight he has five home runs and 13 RBI's.
• 22:10
  He and Thompson are tied for the home run leadership on the team.
• 22:15
  Here's a ball that missed the far corner to an O.
• 22:24
  Standing deep feet close together.
• 22:27
  Slender left hand of adding Oglevay waiting here it comes.
• 22:30
  He takes a strike outside corner.
• 22:35
  Steve Camp waits on deck.
• 22:40
  You can hear the bird chirping over there from the Tiger dugout.
• 22:44
  Mark Fidritch here's a swing and a miss.
• 22:48
  Haas so far has mixed his breaking stuff in with that good fastball.
• 22:52
  And the Tigers have not had a man on base.
• 22:58
  That is at a disadvantage the first time they see a pitcher.
• 23:02
  They saw him a little bit last year but not enough really to remember a whole lot.
• 23:09
  Now the right hander ready goes into action but it is here's a line shot to left.
• 23:14
  It'll be a hit.
• 23:15
  That is the first Tiger hit.
• 23:18
  Oglevay singles to left to start the Tigers in the second inning.
• 23:23
  And now young Mr. Camp steps in.
• 23:25
  He had two for two yesterday.
• 23:27
  Let's pause briefly for station identification.
• 23:30
  This is the Detroit Tiger baseball network.
• 23:33
  Jay Roberts is good company when you want a friend.
• 23:35
  Join him at 1130 on Night Flight 76.
• 23:38
  And Mike Morse Kaleidoscope takes center stage in the theater if you remind.
• 23:42
  Afternoons at 1 15.
• 23:43
  Both a tradition on WJR Detroit radio 76.
• 23:50
  Camp batting 256.
• 23:52
  He has four home runs and 13 RBIs.
• 23:56
  Picking up and is hitting.
• 23:58
  Now scraping around down there.
• 24:01
  In the left hand about his box ready to face the right hander Haas.
• 24:07
  Man on first Oglevay had nobody out no score second inning.
• 24:15
  And Steve takes a breaking pitch low ball one.
• 24:20
  Well the other games are getting underway no other scores to report yet but we'll try to keep you posted on those as we go through this Sunday afternoon.
• 24:27
  Well the first to Cooper Oglevay back in time a couple of extra Red Sox players over there together.
• 24:39
  Now that throw the first the baseball chapel speaker today was Billy Zeoli.
• 24:46
  Who was the religious advisor president Ford.
• 24:58
  Billy is a maker of gospel films now.
• 25:05
  Camp stepping in waiting and it is still one and all on him here's a bit he swings and bows it for the screen.
• 25:23
  Jason Thompson at the on deck circle Jason back in action.
• 25:27
  He was out yesterday with his injured hip.
• 25:31
  No score second inning at Tiger Stadium kept wait so I won one pitch but instead the throw will go to first base.
• 25:40
  The pitches of the last couple of years have gotten a lot more conscious about holding runners on base stealing coming to the fore again in baseball.
• 25:49
  There is a pitch it's a ball tight at the shoulder two and one the count on camp.
• 25:58
  No game for the Tigers tomorrow with their resume action tonight.
• 26:01
  We hope you'll be out there the Minnesota Twins with a very good ball club becoming in their leading the Western Division right now.
• 26:10
  The heavy hitting team the twins next pitch is high and outside the breaking pitch three and one. This is about the first Tiger hitters been ahead of the pitcher.
• 26:31
  Moose House ready to go sets and deals there's a fly ball lifted the left field here comes Thomas chasing the wind takes a little bit easier makes a catch and Ogilvy halfway to second base comes on back to first.
• 26:50
  One out one on and that'll bring up Jason Thompson.
• 26:54
  Jason heard himself in the first game of this series feeling a ground ball in the ninth inning he fell down and bruised his hip.
• 27:02
  He had a strawberry on that hip anyway and he just couldn't swing the bat very well yesterday.
• 27:10
  Bill Beams been working with him giving him treatments and he's ready.
• 27:13
  There's a pitch strike called a second over the safe on the steel got a good job and the throw from war was not a very good one.
• 27:22
  He heard it.
• 27:24
  It'll be the second steal for them this year Robin yet covered but he had no chance to put the tag on the runner.
• 27:43
  Thompson waiting at the plate down the right hander house.
• 27:47
  Ogilvy with a lead down now second base and there's a cut on the miss by Jason
• 28:03
  taking his time about resettling into the batter's box.
• 28:07
  Outfield is slightly toward right.
• 28:09
  The infield a little bit deeper on the right side than on the left.
• 28:14
  And the pitch he takes the ball outside the one into the county.
• 28:20
  Milk may will be the next tiger batter we're in that group of left hand hitters now.
• 28:33
  Set by heart he pitches there is a bonding ball to first base Cooper has it.
• 28:38
  They put your house covers takes a throw Thompson's out and Ogilvy gets the third.
• 28:44
  Jason still seems to be having some trouble.
• 28:49
  Didn't look as if he can run full force there.
• 28:53
  Ogilvy on third with two down and up the milk may to try to deliver him as a run.
• 29:00
  May off to a good start with a bad this year hitting three 19 and 20 games.
• 29:05
  One home run from built and four runs better than this game is scoreless in Detroit.
• 29:19
  Tigers have a man at third base not time called as a lot of swirling dust down around home plate.
• 29:34
  Men feel deep now with two down.
• 29:38
  Rocks and pitches may swings and fouls it away that one got the rich Garcia on the foot.
• 29:46
  Talking about that play it then in the first game of the series I believe it is when the flint is dropped the ball on purpose.
• 29:57
  Mr. Shalak said yeah Rich was out there the umpire rich Garcia and he called him out in Spanish.
• 30:04
  Rich said yep I sure did I said no no.
• 30:08
  Here's a bit it's a swing and a bonding ball deep short got way over bubbles that can't make a play the run score.
• 30:15
  May is safe but Ogilvy crosses the plate.
• 30:19
  And when in the hole to his right it short it will be scored as an arrow he had the ball and then as he got ready to release it he bobbled it.
• 30:28
  And then it was too late to do anything.
• 30:30
  So the Tigers on the era jump in front of one to nothing in the second inning.
• 30:36
  Now they're still and Kowski Bill was our guest on the pregame show.
• 30:41
  He's batting 400 right now.
• 30:44
  Six RBI left hand about it takes the ball low ball one
• 31:02
  swing and a foul fly hit out of play over on the third base side and wins one so hard you can't even put a pencil on the table it'll blow off as a bonding ball up the middle right over the mound to pick up now by money makes a sweep at the run away and can't get him.
• 31:27
  So the Tigers are safe to a man on to man out that will be a single by man Kowski on the scratchy side but I'm sure he'll take it.
• 31:41
  Oh that was really itching to run out.
• 31:46
  That'll happen.
• 31:50
  Little short hopper that just got past the mound and then money try to charge it from second May was coming from first to second money's best bet was try to make a sweeping tag of May when he couldn't get to him he'd come too far in to catch the ball.
• 32:05
  Here's Tommy Verizon with two men on and two men out Tigers lead one to nothing Verizon takes a strike.
• 32:12
  The second man on the breaking pitch Tommy hitting 200 the ninth man in the tiger batting order.
• 32:24
  I'll feel is playing him around toward right and he swings and pops one on the right field side but it's going to blow out of play Cooper follows it but it's in the seat strike to the common Verizon.
• 32:39
  The Tigers fielders today will be playing much more shallow than they normally do because of that wind behind them especially in left
• 32:49
  May is not a fast runner moving off second man Kowski who's about average runner moving off first he's got a fairly large lead at first base man Kowski one nothing the Tigers add in the second inning off sets and pitches and Verizon takes a fastball wide.
• 33:08
  Most of the players not in action have a windbreakers on today although it's not as cool as it was yesterday.
• 33:16
  It's still on the cool side.
• 33:19
  Waiting on a one to pitch Verizon takes strike three card he struck him out that one right in above the knees and Tommy is out for looking second strikeout for Haas.
• 33:30
  The Tigers get a run one run on the two hits one error to run as a left at the end of to Detroit one Milwaukee nothing.
• 34:00
  When it comes to racing motorcycle champions have one thing in common champion spark plugs last year for instance champion spark all 16 major US and world motorcycle championships, including motocross and road racing.
• 34:14
  Is it any wonder when most factory teams go racing champions spark plugs go along. So when your bike needs new plugs, do what racers around the world do, fill her up with champion.
• 34:44
  Tigers ahead one another get the end of two and it'll be Mike Hagan to lead off for Milwaukee against Vernon rule in the Milwaukee third Pittsburgh lead Cincinnati one that I think at the end of one that's our first other score that we have to report to you.
• 35:09

  Well here's Mr. Higa at the plate.
• 35:32
  This is Mike Higa on the left hand battered he takes a ball low ball one on Mike.
• 35:37
  He's all for six so far this year swing there's a high fly lifted to short right center the floor and ugly both there and it's been the make the catch.
• 35:55
  One up and one away Charlie Moore the ninth man in the batting order stepping up more a right hand batter.
• 36:16
  That single by man Kelsky gives him six for the last nine trips to the plate.
• 36:25
  Bounding bought a third man Kelsky knocks it down picks it up for the first he's out a hard one to the third baseman.
• 36:37
  Two down and the batter will be bond Joshua the leadoff man former national league.
• 36:49
  One of the many big leaguers who is a native of Oakland California all right around in there is a cut of the miss talking to Steve Breyer before the game and he told me that he and Miss Debbie have settled out there in the Bay Area.
• 37:06
  That's ball high one and one they count on Joshua Pittsburgh now leads Cincinnati to nothing at the end of two rule delivers there is a foul upstairs off the screen and then down below.
• 37:35
  One and two the column bond Tigers ahead of this game one to nothing.
• 37:39
  We're in the third inning Milwaukee at bats.
• 37:41
  They've got the bases empty and two away rule pitches swing and a miss the tip of the middle of May for the third out.
• 37:52
  No runs on no hits no errors and nobody left at the end of two and a half innings Detroit one the Brewers nothing.
• 38:03
  You're at bat in the LeBats baseball trivia game the pitcher checks the runner at first and here's the pitch.
• 38:11
  Who was the last pitcher to win 300 games.
• 38:14
  Why not think about it over a cool refreshing LeBats blue.
• 38:23
  The answer early win reached the 300 win mark at the age of 43 in 1963 for the Cleveland Indians.
• 38:33
  And baseball really go together always have always will great baseball calls for great beer LeBats blue call for LeBats food in Canada since 1828 distributed by the bad importers incorporated Buffalo New York.
• 38:49
  The LeBats blue is available in selected markets throughout Michigan.
• 39:07
  Well the early story here today on the sun shiny Sunday is the era by Robin Yant that allowed the Tigers to score run in the second inning.
• 39:15
  The first pitch was a three to one that I think on the mound the rookie right hander ready to pitch the round the floor run struck out his first turn at bat.
• 39:33
  One nothing Tigers ahead in the third.
• 39:38
  It's a cross rocks and pitches it's a strike. He got that curve on the outside corner Minnesota leads Toronto at Toronto one to nothing at the end of two the twins come in after that game and open a series here about Tuesday night.
• 39:52
  There's a cut and a miss the fastball spread by him.
• 40:06
  And on the pitch on the way there's a high foul of a drift in the seats on the first base side.
• 40:16
  Milwaukee leaves here after this game and they'll have a 20 double headed with the Cleveland Indians tomorrow night in Cleveland.
• 40:24
  Here's a strike to delivery.
• 40:27
  It's a fastball wide one and two on the floor.
• 40:33
  We'll see the
• 40:35
  jacket day at Tiger Stadium.
• 40:39
  Swing he struck him out before went for an outside fastball.
• 40:44
  That's the third strikeout for a house he's fan before twice.
• 40:53
  Here's Tito and a fly ball to the right field of less cattle the first trip.
• 41:00
  Each team with two hits the Tigers aided by an error put together their two hits on the second inning to get a run in
• 41:13
  moose on the mound ready to do.
• 41:17
  There's a bunt back toward the mound past it. Yeah. Picks it up can't make the play and safe at first is Tito.
• 41:23
  That was one of those hard bumps that he's adept at. He hit it hard past the mound.
• 41:30
  Yonk charge tried to one hand it but couldn't hang on to it. It'll be a single of the third Tiger hit the ball and singles.
• 41:43
  Here's rusty star stepping in.
• 41:46
  He hit a one hop a hard one hop out of the shortstop young who tossed him out for the final out of the first inning.
• 42:02
  Rusty takes a curve it's in too close ball one on the designated batter
• 42:21
  throw over the first base but the run at the ladies back in plenty of time.
• 42:25
  Tigers lead one to nothing in the third inning and another toss by Haas the Cooper.
• 42:34
  No damage.
• 42:40
  The first stop jokes the bat means in waiting now takes a ball that's very high to it. Oh they got on him.
• 42:56
  They've got the infield in double play depth for Milwaukee and the bandos fairly deep at third the left hand batter.
• 43:06
  They tap in the dirt it foul Haas is cap blew off the wind took it and blew it over about halfway to first base.
• 43:20
  They blow away. We may be broadcasting in flight here soon.
• 43:35
  The two on delivery is a wide one three balls and one strike the count on rusty.
• 43:53
  Haas to the set position pitches it ball for he walks the Tigers have two men on one away and here comes Ogilvy who scored the game's only run.
• 44:05
  That's the first walk issued by Haas and there's a little con fact going on the mound.
• 44:12
  Charlie Moore has come out Sal Bando the third baseman come over there discussing the situation.
• 44:20
  Hope you'll be out here with us on Tuesday night. Minnesota comes to town Bob Sykes getting a starting assignment.
• 44:26
  Young left hander with no one in loss record against Pete Redburn.
• 44:36
  Hope you'll be out here with us on Tuesday night. Minnesota comes to town Bob Sykes getting a starting assignment.
• 44:42
  Young left hander with no one in loss record against Pete Redburn and on Wednesday it'll be a Robert for the Tigers against Jeff Zahn.
• 44:50
  That'll be another night game after which the Tigers hit the road and they won't be back until the 24th of the month when they meet California Ogilvy waiting.
• 45:03
  The pitch is a ball load of and ball one man on first man on second one man out next Tiger about it will be Steve Camp.
• 45:20
  Oh how Seth and pitches there's a strike. He got a fastball over so far his control has been pretty good. That's the first walk the one he should have stopped pitching against this row of left hand batters.
• 45:36
  But when he stopped Ogilvy Camp Thompson May and Mankowski seven straight there's a low and then the counties two and one.
• 45:47
  Well most of the time I think when you'll see a right hand pitcher go Ralph Howe for the use to right hand hitters the top and the bottom men in the batting order will be the only right hand batters.
• 46:03
  Ogilvy waits on the two one third here it comes he swings on the body ball to Cooper has it.
• 46:08
  So the yard one relay back to the pitcher covering it's a double play good play as house got over to complete the D.P. Cooper got rid of the ball in a hurry out relayed the house and the Tigers that out of their third inning threat.
• 46:22
  They have no runs on one hit a walk nowhere is one man left that at the end of three Detroit one Milwaukee nothing.
• 46:29
  Let's take a look at the weather for the Detroit area sunny breezy and mild is the forecast for today for greater Detroit high temperature of 65 to 68.
• 46:40
  It'll be clear and cold tonight with a low of 33 to 36 degrees tomorrow mostly sunny high 57 to 60 frost likely in the low lying areas tonight.
• 46:52
  So take proper precautions.
• 46:55
  At two o'clock the official temperature in Detroit 68 degrees relative humidity 28 percent and the wind that they boys have been talking about out of the northwest at 30 miles an hour gusting to 39 elsewhere around Michigan at this time 66 degrees in Ypsilanti Lansing
• 47:15
  and Kalamazoo 69 in Jackson and Battle Creek 63 in Grand Rapids it's 60 in Flint.
• 47:25
  MEP says westbound I 94 between Van Dyke and Shane is moving very slowly due to construction in that area.
• 47:32
  WJR is great weekend puts you where the people are with special events unique on the scene reports total news and sports.
• 47:45
  Tigers have a one nothing lead going into the fourth inning they got that run in the second on a single by Ogilvy he stole second and then it was two down and they had a ground ball to yard who bobbled it and the run scored.
• 47:58
  Here come the Brewers to bat in the fourth inning and here comes Paul Kerry.
• 48:02
  All right Ernie thank you very much.
• 48:03
  It's Robin Yelp the young shortstop to lead it off against Bern rule Yelp collected a blue double in the first inning and reached as far as third base.
• 48:17
  Real ready to work.
• 48:18
  He has checked his outfield and infield into the motion.
• 48:20
  Here's the first pitch to yard.
• 48:22
  He swings and pops a fly ball the right field Ogilvy under it now will move toward the line.
• 48:26
  And the wind carries it away but he makes the catch.
• 48:29
  He had to wait and see which way that wind was going to carry it.
• 48:32
  Very very stiff breeze almost a gale coming in from left field right now.
• 48:43
  One out on the fourth inning an adventure every time the ball gets up in the air today.
• 48:49
  There's Cecil Cooper who singled his first time up pitch from rule has taken high breaking ball ball one.
• 48:59
  Tigers with a run on the second inning an unearned run.
• 49:02
  The result of an error by shortstop Robin Yelp lead it one to nothing.
• 49:07
  There's a squibber toward the left side of the infield deep in the hole.
• 49:10
  Verizon has it the throw it's high and Thompson had to come off the bag to take the throw.
• 49:15
  I don't know whether he would have gotten them anyway.
• 49:17
  It was a tough play was deep in the hole at short.
• 49:20
  We'll wait for the score and he says it's a hit.
• 49:25
  Cooper is two for two.
• 49:29
  He's at first base with one down and Sal Bando will be the batter Bando bounced into a double play to end the first inning.
• 49:41
  Thompson holding on the bag at first as Cooper gets a pretty good lead to start off with.
• 49:46
  Here's the set by rule.
• 49:48
  He delivers to the plate curve is a little high ball one action starting around the majors this afternoon.
• 50:00
  Just getting underway a couple of double headers but they're both on the West Coast in the National League throw the first as Cooper draws a throw.
• 50:09
  He had that big lead again had to stretch out and coming back to the bag.
• 50:14
  Big Frank Howard up with a word for his base runner at first.
• 50:22
  Here's the set by Vern and the pitch Cooper goes the pitch is taken for a strike to throw to second.
• 50:27
  He slides in safely.
• 50:32
  So it was a little bit to the first base side of the bag.
• 50:35
  Well that is try to sweep tag and hoisted the glove in the air as though to prove he had him but he wasn't going to convince Steve Palermo of making the call down there at second base.
• 50:45
  So Cooper on that second and scoring position the Tigers in front one to nothing.
• 50:52
  Bando took that pitch for a call strike a one one count on Sal.
• 51:04
  That's Cooper's fourth steal of the season.
• 51:06
  He has yet to be caught.
• 51:09
  Look at second by rule and the one one pitch to Bando he swings a bouncer to short on the high hopper.
• 51:15
  He goes to third.
• 51:16
  They've got Cooper in a rundown.
• 51:18
  Van Koushki chasing him back toward second flips to Pouletas and the tag is made staying at first is Bando.
• 51:24
  Cooper committed himself and Cooper may have twisted an ankle in the chase between second and third.
• 51:31
  He is hobbled right now out there around shortstop and he's going to be attended to.
• 51:37
  In fact he's going to sit down on the grass.
• 51:41
  A put out goes six five four on Cooper with Bando safe on the fielder's choice at first base.
• 51:49
  The trainer Kurt Reier is out to check on the first baseman.
• 51:53
  Now he's sitting on the grass of the infield.
• 51:56
  Manager Alex Gramis attending to him and coach Jimmy Bregan over there as well.
• 52:03
  Cooper seemed to be all right when he was in the rundown but it may have been that last turn.
• 52:08
  Just as he got near the bag at second the little flip by man Koushki to Pouletas made him detour once again.
• 52:16
  And he seemed to come up lame at that point because Pouletas was able to make a relatively simple tag
• 52:22
  and remain near the bag at second so that Bando could not advance another base.
• 52:28
  Now they're still attending to Cooper down there and Ruel is going to stay busy out on the mound.
• 52:38
  Next batter will be Danny Thomas.
• 52:41
  He's the young man who has gotten a lot of publicity of late for his religious beliefs.
• 52:47
  A member of the Worldwide Church of God who because of the religion does not play baseball from sundown Friday until sundown on Saturday.
• 53:01
  Now a hand for Cecil Cooper. He is walking off, walking better now than he was when he came up lame out there at short.
• 53:10
  Being accompanied by the trainer Kurt Reier and Alex Dramis.
• 53:17
  Walking back toward the Milwaukee dugout and they'll wait until he gets off the field.
• 53:25
  Oh Thomas out of action both yesterday afternoon and Friday night because of his religious convictions.
• 53:32
  In the lineup as the left fielder today and at first two down the pitch outside for ball one.
• 53:40
  With so many Friday night games and Saturday afternoon games it means that Thomas is going to miss a lot of action this year.
• 53:50
  Here's the set and the pitch to him. He cuts and misses one and one on Dan.
• 53:57
  Thomas wears glasses both at bat and in the field.
• 54:11
  Set by rule and the one one pitch to him.
• 54:14
  Swung on and missed he was out ahead of a breaking ball. One and two on Thomas.
• 54:31
  Now Bando with a short lead at first base. He's going to go the pitches swung on and popped foul into the upper deck.
• 54:41
  Bando is not the speediest man of what certainly but he reads pitchers very well and had some excellent success last year at Oakland.
• 54:51
  Last year at Oakland Chuck Tanner let him run with a band in out there and everybody was pretty much free to run.
• 55:01
  There's a fly ball lifted to right field that's deep the wind's got it Oakley goes back it could be trouble it's gone.
• 55:07
  It took off it got up into the jet stream blowing in from left field and carried into the upper deck and right field a two run homer for Dan Thomas as Bando scores ahead of him.
• 55:18
  And the Brewers take a two to one lead the first homer of the year for Dan Thomas and he's got a big grin as he comes along shaking everybody's hand within reach.
• 55:31
  It's got up into that breeze which is more than a breeze today.
• 55:41
  Fire six to Los Cano batting with the bases empty two down the Brewers in front now two to one.
• 55:47
  He takes a strike.
• 55:58
  Wind up by rule a pitch outside ball one.
• 56:02
  Thomas is not going to say he's not known for his home run hitting but in checking his record he has a good total in minor league play hasn't really been tested that much by Major League pitching to one now the count on Los Cano in the Eastern League.
• 56:21
  Last year he collected 29 home runs to lead that league in homers at four homers with the Brewers in the late going inside and high for a ball.
• 56:37
  Three balls on a strike now on six dollars kind of get a pop fly to Ogilvy and right his first time up.
• 56:46
  Here's the pitch tap foul to the left of the plate.
• 57:00
  I went blown over by Danny Thomas to get into the upper deck in section 37 makes the difference in this game.
• 57:06
  There's ball for Los Cano draws a walk the first issued by burn rule.
• 57:13
  That'll bring up Don money
• 57:22
  with two down let's go out first base
• 57:32
  rule with a mid on the knees bending in getting the sign from May here's the set and a throw to first back in time and was his last kind of
• 57:47
  bowl run.
• 58:02
  Two runs on two hits. No errors. One runner left on base. After three and a half innings, it's Milwaukee 2, Detroit 1.

  By and Haas, the rookie right-hander known as Moose has got himself a one run lead now as he gets set to face the Tigers here in the bottom of the fourth inning. Two run homer by Dan Thomas. The upper deck and right field in the top of this inning.
• 59:39
  Pirates have jumped in front of Cincinnati after three innings, two to nothing, getting one of their runs on a homer by Phil Robinson.
• 59:49
  Chicago and Atlanta, no score after one inning and the Houston-St. Louis game just getting underway.
• 59:56
  Here's Steve Kemp, deleted off of the Tigers in the fourth inning. Up once in this game, he flied out the left field.
• 1:00:04
  The right-hander ready delivers low and inside, ball one on Steve.
• 1:00:10
  California at Boston, no score after an inning. At Toronto, we've gotten some word now. One to nothing, Minnesota leads the Blue Jays after two innings.
• 1:00:18
  The pitch to Kemp, he swings, a bounce to the right side, big hop for Don Money. He flips to Cooper in time to get Kemp. Cooper apparently all right, he's back on the field for Milwaukee.
• 1:00:31
  Now there's one down, nobody on, and that'll bring up Jason Thompson. Jason bounced out the first, his initial trip to the plate.
• 1:00:41
  Over in Cleveland, no score after an inning there, the White Sox and Indians. Steve Stone going against Al Fitzmorris in Cleveland.
• 1:00:52
  There's the pitch to Jason, he takes the breaking ball low and inside.
• 1:00:56
  Bill Lee is getting his long-desired start for the Boston Red Sox today, going against Gary Ross in California.
• 1:01:06
  The pitch to Thompson, a little low, ball two. And they've got an ironic pairing of pitchers at New York, the Yankees against Oakland.
• 1:01:16
  It's Ellis pitching for Oakland and Torres for New York. They were the principals in a recent trade between those two clubs.
• 1:01:24
  There's a called strike on Thompson. And we're reminded that a station break is long overdue and I'll get one along the network at the first opportunity.
• 1:01:37
  The 2-1 pitch to Thompson takes inside, ball three.
• 1:01:48
  One out, nobody on, Tigers fourth inning. The Brewers lead 2-1. Single game wrapping up the three-game series.
• 1:01:57
  The pitch to Jason, he swings and chops a foul to the right side. Let's pause for station identification. This is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Network.
• 1:02:04
  Mark Avery takes it nice and easy from his vantage point and the music all afternoons from three to six.
• 1:02:09
  And Warren Pierce provides the evening sunshine with interviews and involvement, 19-7, both a tradition on WJR Detroit.
• 1:02:19
  Here's the pitch to Thompson. He takes ball four, fastball a little high to Jason, questioned by the pitcher Moose Haas.
• 1:02:28
  Thompson draws a walk, the second given up by Haas.
• 1:02:34
  And it brings up Milt May, safe on an error by Robin Yaud on the second inning, the play that scored Ben Ogilvy and gave the Tigers the run in the second.
• 1:02:49
  That was the pitch to Milt. He swings and fouls one to the screen.
• 1:02:57
  Haas just turned 21 years old after the season got underway. He was signed out of high school by the Brewers in 1974.
• 1:03:11
  A stretch by Haas and the pitch to May. Ball outside, one-on-one on Milt.
• 1:03:23
  It comes from Reister Town, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore, area where the Tigers stay when they play in Baltimore these days.
• 1:03:31
  It's low for a ball, two-and-one now on Milt May.
• 1:03:39
  Pretty hatfield, the third base Tiger coach, wig-wagging the signs to the plate.
• 1:03:44
  On first is Thompson, one down on the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 1:03:47
  Here's the 2-1 pitch. Ball free.
• 1:03:53
  Haas, our Haas brother, has gotten behind and here comes Sal Bando in to perhaps settle down as the young pitcher.
• 1:04:03
  Bando trotting back to his third base position again.
• 1:04:16
  Cooper will play behind the runner at first, just barely behind Thompson.
• 1:04:20
  The pitch to May. Ground ball to Cooper. He goes to second.
• 1:04:23
  4-1, the relay to first. In time, another double play the same way they ended the third inning.
• 1:04:29
  A 3-6-1 double play with the pitcher Haas covering for the completion of the double play at first base.
• 1:04:35
  And that's all for Detroit in the fourth. No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left.
• 1:04:40
  After four innings of play, it's Milwaukee 2, the Tigers 1.
• 1:04:44
  Getting oil out of the ground is one thing. Turning it into something people can use is another.
• 1:04:50
  It takes a lot of people with different skills and different talents to get that job done.
• 1:04:55
  We got people together we thought could do it better, and we called the company Marathon.
• 1:05:02
  From the driller in Alaska, to the rastabout in Texas, from the driver in Atlanta, to the welder in Wyoming.
• 1:05:17
  When we found oil, we could have left the rest of the jobs to somebody else.
• 1:05:22
  But we had this idea that we could do it better. So we got people together who thought the same way we did.
• 1:05:28
  We got together to do it better. We're Marathon.
• 1:05:39
  Marathon Oil Company. We got together to do it better.
• 1:05:46
  A careful blending of words and music came to a central theme.
• 1:05:50
  That's the criteria for Ted Strasser's Patterns in Music, a Sunday morning tradition beginning at 8 here on Radio 76.
• 1:06:00
  Lots of youngsters out here on this bright and breezy Sunday for Jacket Day.
• 1:06:04
  We see a lot of blue in the stands for the blue vinyl jackets given away free today by the Tigers to all youngsters 14 and under.
• 1:06:12
  They've got the Old English D on the jacket.
• 1:06:17
  A lot of groups on hand to supply themselves with jackets for the coming summer.
• 1:06:23
  Jerry Garson from Windsor brought his Giants team out of the Windsor Central Little League over for instance.
• 1:06:30
  There's a drive by Mike Heegan into center field for a face hit.
• 1:06:34
  He teed off on the first pitch by Vern Ruhl here in the top of the fifth inning.
• 1:06:39
  And that is Mike's first hit of the season.
• 1:06:42
  He had gone 0 for 7 but delivers a single to lead off the fifth inning.
• 1:06:48
  Hit number 5 for the Brewers off Ruhl and we're getting a little stirring in the Tiger bullpen.
• 1:06:54
  Brewers lead 2 to 1 here on the top of the fifth inning. Charlie Moore at the plate.
• 1:06:59
  Charlie bounced out the Mankowski his first time up.
• 1:07:04
  Ruhl delivers over to first base to drive Heegan back to the bag.
• 1:07:16
  Alvern getting the sign from May. A royal throwing in the bullpen. The pitch. It's butted foul.
• 1:07:32
  Some activity down on the Milwaukee bullpen too. Gary Baer is throwing but he may be loosening up.
• 1:07:37
  That's all just getting his pitches in because I think he's due to pitch about Tuesday over in Cleveland.
• 1:07:46
  Heegan at first base. Nobody out here in the top of the fifth inning.
• 1:07:50
  One strike pitch to Moore. It's a pitch out but Heegan didn't go.
• 1:08:04
  Moore did not hit well at all last year but he's hitting much better this year now that he's back behind the plate.
• 1:08:08
  He did not enjoy playing left field while Darryl Porter did most of the work behind the plate.
• 1:08:13
  Another pitch out and Heegan didn't move.
• 1:08:27
  Moore wound up with a 191 batting average a year ago.
• 1:08:31
  Well two years ago he led the team in hitting with a 290 mark.
• 1:08:35
  Throw to first by Ruhl and Heegan is back.
• 1:08:39
  2-1 ball game and the 2-1 count here on Charlie Moore with Heegan at first.
• 1:08:44
  There's the set and the pitch. He goes this time.
• 1:08:47
  The bat is thrown at the bat and it's a grounder to first. Thompson makes the play at first.
• 1:08:52
  No play and Heegan at second base.
• 1:08:54
  At the time Moore just threw the bat at the ball and hit a sharp ground ball to Thompson.
• 1:08:59
  But Heegan was running with a pitch and so there was no play at second base.
• 1:09:03
  Moore does his job. He sacrifices himself to move the man into scoring position.
• 1:09:09
  It will not go as a sacrifice but he gave himself up.
• 1:09:15
  A play unassisted at first by Jason Thompson. Heegan at second now with one away.
• 1:09:20
  And Von Joshua at the plate. Left hand batter 0 for 2 against Ruhl.
• 1:09:24
  The pitch to Von. He tops a foul in the dirt behind the plate.
• 1:09:30
  I knew I'd have it sometime during this series. Jim Heegan batting for the Brewers.
• 1:09:39
  Jim of course is the Tiger bullpen coach and he's down there guarding Fernando Arroyo at work now.
• 1:09:46
  His son Mike out at second base. The base runner.
• 1:09:48
  There's a fly ball lifted to left center field. LaFleur on the run.
• 1:09:51
  Here comes Kemp. Kemp passes in front and makes the catch.
• 1:09:55
  And Heegan remains at second base.
• 1:10:01
  Oh there are two down. That brings up Robin Young.
• 1:10:15
  Robin the number one pick by the Brewers in the June draft of 1973.
• 1:10:21
  That one year in organized ball before becoming a regular shortstop at the age of 18 in the majors in 1974.
• 1:10:29
  The pitch to Robin. He takes one low. Ball one.
• 1:10:35
  Too odd. Heegan at second base. The Brewers lead the Tigers 2 to 1.
• 1:10:41
  Off day tomorrow for the Tigers. Then the Minnesota Twins come in for night games Tuesday night and Wednesday night.
• 1:10:49
  Brewers head for Cleveland on the Twineye double header tomorrow.
• 1:10:53
  Breaking ball in for a called strike on Yount. Yount had a blue double in the first inning and then fly to right in the fourth.
• 1:11:02
  Left-hander Bob Sykes gets back into the starting rotation to get the start for the Tigers on Tuesday and the opener against the Twins.
• 1:11:09
  And we'll see Pete Redfern firing for the Twins.
• 1:11:12
  The pitch to the plate. Ground ball to short. To his left.
• 1:11:15
  Past the club of Verizon into left field a base hit. That'll score Heegan from second.
• 1:11:19
  And holding it first with an RBI single is Robin Yount. Just out of the reach of Tom Verizon.
• 1:11:26
  It's now 3 to 1 Milwaukee.
• 1:11:31
  Yount with his tenth RBI of the season.
• 1:11:37
  Two on the fourth and one here on the fifth. And the Brewers have taken a two run lead. The batter now Cecil Cooper two for two. A pair of singles for Cecil.
• 1:11:55
  Here's the set by Ruhl and the pitch to Cooper. He looks it's outside. Ball one.
• 1:12:06
  Ruhl taking a little extra time. He's checking the infield which is swung around to the right on Cooper.
• 1:12:19
  Here's the set by Ruhl. The pitch swung on and missed. Breaking ball. Jamming him at the wrist.
• 1:12:26
  Both of the hits by Cooper were as a result of a shift to the right on him.
• 1:12:32
  Ground ball deep in the hole the last time up. Giving an infield single on and the other a line drive through a normal shortstop position.
• 1:12:42
  Here's the pitch. Swung on and missed strike two.
• 1:12:49
  The Brewers have a total of six hits. The Tigers have three.
• 1:13:04
  Ruhl already takes a look at Yount at first. Throws over there but he gets back. Yount can run.
• 1:13:18
  Has a big lead and draws another throw diving back in with a hand.
• 1:13:24
  Enjoyed a long conversation with the first base coach Frank Howard who will ball game.
• 1:13:29
  He had to coach third last year while he was managing at Spokane.
• 1:13:33
  There's a fly ball lifted to short left field. Kemp coming on still coming on still coming on makes the catch.
• 1:13:39
  That ball kept being beaten down in front of him but Kemp kept after it and made the catch to retire the side.
• 1:13:45
  The Brewers pick up a run here in the fifth on two hits. No Tiger errors and one man left after four and a half innings.
• 1:13:51
  It's Milwaukee three Detroit one.
• 1:13:54

  Aaron Ruhl pitching today for the Tigers spent a lot of time on Friday helping out the Lavonia Civetan Club in handing out prizes for the Special Olympics earn working for that club spending a lot of hours last Friday morning and they're very grateful.
• 1:15:37
  Here's Phil Van Kouski taking a fastball low he ran up on it as though the button laid off.
• 1:15:44
  Van Kouski with an infield single chopped over the mound in the second inning the pitch to Phil strike call.
• 1:15:52
  So it's a one one count on man Kouski he'll be followed by Verizon in Laflore here on the Tiger fifth.
• 1:16:03
  The pitch from Ha's swung on a little fly ball the short center field coming on as Joshua he makes the catch. Well that one stayed up long enough for a bond to make a running catch one down on the Tiger fifth.
• 1:16:16
  The batter will be Verizon.
• 1:16:29
  Tommy took a call third strike his only time up against Ha's.
• 1:16:36
  There's a motion by the right hander he kicks and fires it's on the corner for a strike.
• 1:16:50
  And to the motion they pitch to Tommy strike to called.
• 1:16:57
  He's worked for the most part last year at Spokane he won 13 and lost nine had a high earned run average of five point five five but got those 13 wins.
• 1:17:08
  That one got away from everybody it was a slow breaking ball bounced in front of the plate.
• 1:17:19
  But I was turned in a lot of strikeouts last year at Spokane.
• 1:17:22
  He's got some smoke as an assortment uses the four normal pitches.
• 1:17:30
  There's a fly ball down the right field line it is blown foul into the off the facing of the second deck down above the bullpen.
• 1:17:40
  He's got good wood but a little bit too late on it. One and two on Tommy.
• 1:17:56
  There's a pitch to Verizon he takes inside that was close to and do on him.
• 1:18:10
  A bear is loosening up on the Tiger bullpen.
• 1:18:15
  That's Ray there.
• 1:18:17
  There's a fly ball lifted to right center field that's fairly deep the wind has got that one Joshua going back still going back makes the catch.
• 1:18:23
  Just a step away from the warning track in deep right center field to out in the fifth inning.
• 1:18:30
  And the batter will be Ron LaFleur who has struck out twice against high Tigers trail three to one here in the bottom of the fifth inning.
• 1:18:41
  Tigers got a run in the second inning and under and run on an error by Robin Young.
• 1:18:47
  But the Brewers took the lead in the fourth on the two run homer by Dan Thomas and then added a run on Robin Young's run producing single in the fifth and it gets three one curve on the corner strike called on the floor.
• 1:19:06
  I'm just now finally getting that finger on his right hand well so he can grip the bat well there's a drive to right center field Joshua is right there. He reaches up and makes the catch.
• 1:19:17
  He was playing him over into deep right center field and the ball went right at him.
• 1:19:21
  The Tigers got on an order in the fifth after five innings of play. It's Milwaukee three Detroit one.

  A long day here as a foul off the side of the screen almost into the upper deck.
• 1:27:36
  What is one for two he laid down a pretty front in the third inning just beyond the mound that you out charged could not make a play on him.
• 1:27:44
  One single for four what is handles the bat very well.
• 1:27:49
  Pass ready delivers strike called he got one across the letters fastball.
• 1:28:03
  Now the wind up and the pitch fly ball foul down the left field side will drift back in the seat.
• 1:28:22
  Tigers have only three hits off Oz and they've left three men on base.
• 1:28:26
  The Brewers have a total of seven hits and have left three on base.
• 1:28:32
  They lead it three to one and the finale of this series.

  Here's the two strike pitch to Tito.
• 1:28:38
  He swung and foul that one to the screen.
• 1:28:40
  That was out of the strike zone up around the fill of a helmet.

  Wood chopping that time by Tito batting left handed yet the outfield shades him toward left.
• 1:28:57
  Here's the pitch to point is he takes outside for a ball.
• 1:29:01
  He's got to get the ball.
• 1:29:11
  Possum to the wind up a one to pitch.

  There's a line drive to right field a base hit provided Tito has two for three to the four Tiger hits.

  Rusty has grounded up the second or rather the short and walk.
• 1:29:35
  It's the second time in the game the Tigers have had their leadoff man on base.
• 1:29:39
  The first time game of the second inning and Ogilvy who led off the second with a single eventually scored.
• 1:29:45
  Unable to gain a sweep over anybody in any series this season or unable to get together three straight wins trying to do so today against the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 1:29:55
  Stop waiting.
• 1:29:56
  There's a toss to first.
• 1:29:57
  What is it just started away from the bag.
• 1:29:59
  Back Tito with a very short lead now lengthens it.
• 1:30:06
  Here's the pitch to Rusty.

  He pops one up foul behind the plate.
• 1:30:16
  Fans on the stands still looking up waiting for it to come down but it hasn't yet.
• 1:30:20
  I don't think it will.
• 1:30:29
  Now the stretch by Haas and the lob over the first base point is goes back to the bag.
• 1:30:40
  Stop patient at the plate.
• 1:30:41

• 1:30:44
  Big hop for money goes to second for one.
• 1:30:46
  The relay double play the third of the game.
• 1:30:49
  That has really crippled any attack of the Tigers or any rally opportunities.
• 1:30:55
  They're at two down nobody on in the batter all the way.
• 1:31:01
  The Brewers have pulled off double plays in the third fourth and sixth innings.
• 1:31:13
  Oh the one for two.
• 1:31:14
  He's single in the second then bounced into a double play in the third.
• 1:31:19
  Three one the Brewers lead the Tigers the pitch from Haas.
• 1:31:22
  Swung on and fouled back to the backstop.

  They Brewers ahead in the seventh money struck out and popped the shorties over to swing
• 1:34:13
  a base hit that field down in the corner chased by a camp in that corner and money will get
• 1:34:18
  at least two.
• 1:34:19
  Yes sir.
• 1:34:20
  He's got a stand up double just in the corner.
• 1:34:24
  Just inside the bag at third a hard ground smash putting money at second and bringing
• 1:34:29
  up Mike Hagan who has one hit in two trips that hit his first hit of the year.
• 1:34:38
  That is the eighth hit by the Brewers off Verne rule and the Tigers getting the bullpen
• 1:34:44
  busy again the Royals starts to throw
• 1:34:49
  Hagan the left hand batting designated hitters the plate he'll be followed by Charlie Moore
• 1:35:02
  takes a high one high and wide the ball one on Mike Hagan young has two hits Cooper two
• 1:35:09
  to pace the attack one a piece for a band Oh Thomas that was a home run money and Hagan
• 1:35:15
  I rule ready to go to work at this time for milk may here's a pitch he swings and beats
• 1:35:25
  a foul off his foot one and one they got on Hagan Chicago leading Cleveland in the third
• 1:35:33
  three nothing Oscar Gamble added a two run home run to their total Baltimore leading
• 1:35:39
  Seattle for nothing in the second Yankees over Oakland five to nothing in the third
• 1:35:43
  Boston ahead of California in the fifth inning three to one Minnesota two and Toronto nothing
• 1:35:50
  in the fourth inning here's the stretch by rule he delivers Hagan swings on the bounding
• 1:35:58
  ball off the foot of rule hit him on the right foot bounce over where point he picks it up
• 1:36:03
  in short right field throw to Thompson not in time money takes third and save it first
• 1:36:09
  as Hagan it'll be a hit and rule was hit on the foot got him on the right toe I believe
• 1:36:16
  the ball bounded into right field where point is caught it and fired over the first base
• 1:36:30
  Ralph out there to take a look Bill Bame the Tiger Trainers looking a rule that is going
• 1:36:37
  to leave now and a royal will come in and take over.
• 1:36:42
  Oh that's all for Vern.
• 1:36:44
  I'm not sure which foot it hit him on on the right foot appeared on the right foot.
• 1:36:51
  Paul says and a royal probably will be allowed as much time as he wants to warm up at this
• 1:36:57
  point.
• 1:36:58
  A rule is out of the ballgame after the single by Hagan and runners are at first and third
• 1:37:06
  with nobody down.
• 1:37:08
  That means it burned with six innings and pitched to two batters in the seventh.
• 1:37:14
  He allowed three runs on nine hits.
• 1:37:17
  He leaves two on for his responsibility.
• 1:37:21
  He walked one and struck out two while Fernando Arroyo getting his warm up tosses now as Ernie
• 1:37:33
  pointed out he may be allowed extra throws because of the injury to Vern rule getting
• 1:37:43
  the paid attendance here on jacket day today and it is twenty seven thousand seven hundred
• 1:37:51
  and eighty three fine turnout for jacket day.
• 1:37:57
  That shot was off the right ankle it appeared to me of Vern rule and it took a high bounce
• 1:38:03
  out into a short right field where he's reacted very quickly and got the ball.
• 1:38:09
  But on that high bounce it allowed Hagan time to reach first base by about a half a step
• 1:38:13
  ahead of the throw from point is to Thompson and moving to third on the play was Don money
• 1:38:18
  Arroyo has completed his warm up tosses as he takes over for Vern rule Ernie on a tough
• 1:38:25
  spot now runners at first and third they'll have to play their infield in a little bit
• 1:38:28
  at this stage.
• 1:38:31
  On the right hander pitches there's a bombing ball off the foot of more the ball bounces
• 1:38:35
  down toward Mankowski it's ruled a foul ball Arroyo with a record of one and two.
• 1:38:41
  This is his eighth appearance Nando has the lowest earned run average on the Tiger mound
• 1:38:51
  that's that two point thirty nine.
• 1:38:59
  Rower's lead at three to one they're threatening to add more here in the seventh inning with
• 1:39:03
  runners at first and third and nobody down and it's a pitch out but nobody's moving.
• 1:39:18
  Here's a set by Roy in the pitch swing there's a little pop line to right field maybe trouble
• 1:39:27
  locally coming in he can't get it it's a foul ball by about a foot.
• 1:39:32
  Oh that was close.
• 1:39:35
  Nobody could have caught that one nobody did catch it it went foul by no more than a foot
• 1:39:40
  deep for first base.
• 1:39:43
  Oh the runners head on back and the batter more comes back for the plate.
• 1:39:49
  Cincinnati has a four to two lead in the fifth inning over Pittsburgh Chicago leading Atlanta
• 1:39:55
  for nothing at the end of three at lattice lost 13 straight Houston ahead of St. Louis
• 1:40:00
  one to nothing at the end of two the other nationally games are late starters on the
• 1:40:05
  West Coast today.
• 1:40:11
  Miller continues to warm up to the Tiger bullpen.
• 1:40:16
  All right trying to get out of a spot here Charlie Moore waits on the pitch there's a
• 1:40:21
  foul ball out of play the ball the bat goes out to the shortstop position.
• 1:40:27
  The ball went back in the plate for the screen.
• 1:40:47
  Boyd is under the intergrace Thompson holding on the bag at first with Hagan.
• 1:40:56
  Now Moore standing deep waiting on Arroyo's next delivery one and two the count on Charlie
• 1:41:00
  here it is.
• 1:41:01
  He takes the ball low.
• 1:41:06
  No game for the Tigers tomorrow they will resume action Tuesday night against the Minnesota
• 1:41:10
  Twins Jean Mott bringing his heavy hitting team in.
• 1:41:14
  We hope you'll be out here with us to see the Tiger action on Tuesday night.
• 1:41:21
  At the pit he swings and missed it the ball was tipped and then dropped by May and there
• 1:41:27
  goes a bad again.
• 1:41:30
  This time it's out past the mound on the first base side.
• 1:41:35
  Members last time up it was a different situation completely on a pitch out or what appeared
• 1:41:41
  to be a pitch out more through his bat at the ball and made contact and bounced out
• 1:41:45
  the first.
• 1:41:46
  He's lost the bat three times in this game.
• 1:41:51
  Tony Oliva.
• 1:41:59
  More digs in again it's a two to pitch coming up from Arroyo said here it is he swings and
• 1:42:06
  fouls it away to having a real battle between them.
• 1:42:15
  Harvey eyes to the Brewers two by Dan Thomas on his two run homer one by yard on a single
• 1:42:19
  of the fifth inning that drove home Hagen from second base.
• 1:42:23
  While the Tiger run came in the second on a single by Ogilvy a stolen base and then
• 1:42:30
  an arrow by young is a bombing foul it down past the third base coach Jimmy Bregan.
• 1:42:44
  Jimmy the brother of Bobby Bregan former big league ball player coach and manager Bobby
• 1:42:53
  now president of the National Association of Baseball League which is the minor league
• 1:42:57
  structure now Roya checks his time with May still trying to get out of the jam to been
• 1:43:03
  on and nobody out in the Milwaukee seventh they lead three to one the pitch on the way
• 1:43:08
  swing base hit left field that will score money easily and Hagen checks in and holds
• 1:43:14
  it second base it is four to one the Brewers lead more picks up an RBI single that run
• 1:43:21
  is charged to Vernon rule.
• 1:43:23
  The Brewers have cashed in here in the seventh on three straight hits they go to the top
• 1:43:33
  of the batting order bond Joshua's over three bonds bounce the first struck out and applied
• 1:43:38
  the left now it's a left hand batter against the right hander.
• 1:43:50
  The pitch is wide for a ball he was ready the bond didn't offer the Tiger infielders
• 1:43:54
  are charging only in the second and third innings of the Milwaukee's failed to hit rule
• 1:44:05
  got him out one two three and each of those two innings here's a ball outside again ready
• 1:44:10
  to bump the pitch was wide of the plate more at first Hagen at second base neither one
• 1:44:30
  getting much of a lead right now now Roya backs off the mound he wants to rub up that
• 1:44:34
  ball a little bit.
• 1:44:42
  We got the word now from Bill Brown in the press box at burn rules suffered a bruised
• 1:44:47
  right ankle on the battered ball hit him.
• 1:44:54
  All right you're ready pitches and it is a bump foul back of the plate in the dirt.
• 1:45:08
  Milwaukee with some timely hits has a lead in this game.
• 1:45:12
  They've got four runs on tenets the Tigers have one run on four hits.
• 1:45:15
  Joshua will be waiting on a two on delivery from relief man a royal Tiger infield.
• 1:45:24
  Still looking for the bond piece of paper picked up by Rich Garcia the plate umpire
• 1:45:32
  who dashed out from behind the plate toward the mound to pick it up.
• 1:45:43
  Still a strong breeze from left field there is a pitch low make it a 3 1 count on Joshua
• 1:45:51
  Red Hat field thank you coach pacing up and down in front of the dugout bench Ralph House
• 1:45:56
  leaning over getting some pebbles as he watches the action.
• 1:46:02
  Roya ready pitches Joshua takes it ball for the bases are loaded.
• 1:46:09
  Well Nando is trying to keep the ball away from him so he wouldn't butt it too readily
• 1:46:14
  and it was not in the strike zone so he walks that puts Joshua at first more at second.
• 1:46:27
  Hagan is at third nobody down and Robin Young who has a double and a single and an RBI two
• 1:46:32
  for three steps up and the Tigers down have no choice they're going to have to pull their
• 1:46:38
  infield in almost to the end of grass play the ground ball to the plate.
• 1:46:43
  This very sharp hit ball to shortstop the wind he might get back to second there's a
• 1:46:47
  bombing ball to the right base hit and the score comes Hagan Charlie Moore right behind
• 1:46:53
  him he'll score as a third safe there is Joshua throw to second and out at second is a batter
• 1:46:58
  Robin Young the right field all go there to Mankowski and then to point is for the out
• 1:47:04
  but two runs have scored and it is six to one the Brewers in the lead.
• 1:47:14
  So here comes manager Halk out again and we may get a pitching change at this stage of
• 1:47:19
  the game.
• 1:47:20
  Yep he wants John Hiller two runs in and the Brewers lead at six to one five of those runs
• 1:47:27
  are charged to rule and one is charged to Nando or Roya so Paul will see Mr. Hiller
• 1:47:34
  Joe who has been extremely effective all season long in middle relief for the Tigers unable
• 1:47:40
  to get anybody out after coming out for burn rule here on the seventh inning gave up the
• 1:47:44
  run producing single to Charlie Moore after quite a battle at the plate and then pitch
• 1:47:48
  to finally Devon Joshua walked him to load the bases and Robin Young delivered a single
• 1:47:53
  to right which has the infield been a normal depth looked like it would have been a routine
• 1:47:59
  double play ball but the infield up tight with one down and a brother with nobody out
• 1:48:04
  and the bases loaded they were forced to play for the play at the plate and to bring that
• 1:48:10
  infield in tight and they bouncer just got through between first and second of the right
• 1:48:14
  field a two run single by Robin Young who tried to stretch it on the throw to third
• 1:48:19
  he tried to take second and was cut down for the first out of the inning.
• 1:48:24
  So Fernando works one third of an inning and has allowed two hits and one run five runs
• 1:48:33
  total of charge to the starter burn rule it's now six to one Brewers as John Hiller takes
• 1:48:40
  over with runner at a runner at third base and one away first man he's going to face
• 1:48:47
  is the left hand batting Cecil Cooper a yowl has now driven in three of the Milwaukee runs
• 1:48:55
  this afternoon with a three for four day and the Tigers are going to keep that infield
• 1:49:01
  up tight Ernie here's a Cooper at the plate we've got a left hander against the left hander
• 1:49:07
  infield in close man at third base that's Joshua a good runner to wind up by John the
• 1:49:13
  pitch Cooper takes the ball high checking his swing six runs eleven hits for the Brewers
• 1:49:19
  the Tigers have one run on four hits the third and final game of the series the Tigers took
• 1:49:24
  victories in the first two and her kicks and delivers it is high and wide at two at oh
• 1:49:31
  and Cooper Mando waits on deck John checks his sign but milk may and the left hander delivers
• 1:49:46
  again it's a strike and above the knees two balls one strike on Cecil Cooper I'll feel
• 1:50:01
  around toward right there's a ball wide and make it a three one count on Cooper yes not
• 1:50:10
  then three runs two delivered by Thomas and one by more bounding ball to first Thompson
• 1:50:18
  coming home to the plate may has the ball now running Joshua back toward third the tag
• 1:50:23
  is made by Mankowski and safe at first on the field his choice is Cooper he might have
• 1:50:30
  missed the tag Brinkman called him out anyway whether it's running out of the baseline so
• 1:50:35
  whether he was tagged as academic it's a fielders choice to down a man on first and Bando at
• 1:50:42
  the plate Sal has hit into a double play was safe on a fielders choice and had a single
• 1:50:55
  one for three item and running for Cooper and there's a ball outside
• 1:51:09
  Jack Heidemann is the runner at first base now running for Cooper it's a strike on the
• 1:51:14
  outside corner one and one the count on Bando the Brewers lead the Tigers six to one of
• 1:51:23

• 1:51:42
  Baltimore six Seattle nothing in the fourth Yankees six and Oakland nothing in the fourth
• 1:51:47
  inning strike there was a breaking pitch above the knees outside corner
• 1:52:02
  man on first Heidemann getting a lead two men out
• 1:52:04
  Hillers pitches in close make it a three to count on Bando
• 1:52:12
  and Thomas waits on deck the Brewers with three runs breaking it open here in the seventh
• 1:52:17
  inning they've got a six to one lead over the Tigers now the left hander Hillers sets
• 1:52:22
  and delivers here's a fly ball to do a left center not deep here comes the floor running
• 1:52:27

• 1:52:36
  errors and a man left on base we go to the last half of the seventh it is Brewers seven
• 1:52:42
  six Detroit one from the pipeline in Wyoming to the oil wells down in Texas off the shore
• 1:52:52
  in Louisiana to right back home in Findlay getting oil out of the ground is one thing
• 1:53:01
  turning it into something people can use is another we got people together we thought
• 1:53:05
  we could do it better and we called the company Marathon
• 1:53:21
  Marathon oil company we got together to do it better
• 1:53:51
  your first baseman for Milwaukee is Ken McMullen replacing Cecil Cooper we'd like to send a
• 1:54:00
  Tiger salute on his birthday to a great Tiger fan Greg Seabree and right now we'll pause
• 1:54:09
  briefly for station identification this is a Detroit Tiger baseball network Mark Avery
• 1:54:14

• 1:54:19
  Pierce provides the evening sunshine with interviews and involvement nightly at 7 both
• 1:54:23
  a tradition on WJR Detroit leading off for Detroit it'll be Steve Kemp here against Moose
• 1:54:34
  House has pitched a strong game he's given the Tigers only one run that's good on an
• 1:54:38
  error he's allowed them four hits the right hander pitches that it's a fastball to move
• 1:54:45
  Kemp away from the plate ball on Steve Cincinnati now leading the Pirates in the seventh inning
• 1:54:53
  four to three there's a fly ball to right fairly deep going over Lescano and he can't
• 1:55:02
  get it it bounce into the seat it will be a two base hit for camp a double for Steve
• 1:55:08
  Kemp a one hopper bounding over the barrier at the 370 foot marker Jason Thompson stepping
• 1:55:19
  up now the Tigers have that leadoff man on second base that is only the fifth hit allowed
• 1:55:25
  by young Mr. Haas Thompson is bounced out first a pitcher covering and he's drawn a
• 1:55:35
  base on ball.
• 1:55:41
  Bro is with a commanding lead they lead by five six to one Jason takes the curve high
• 1:55:46
  and wide of all one here comes Bando and to talk with his young pitcher
• 1:56:05
  now Bando is back at third Thompson in the batter's box waiting on a one-oh delivery
• 1:56:09
  he looks at the ball all fastball to at all the count on Jason
• 1:56:14
  now the Cubs are pounding Atlanta against six to nothing in the fifth inning
• 1:56:31
  here's the pitch Thompson takes strike on the outside corner two and one on Jason and
• 1:56:39
  you'll be followed by May and Mankowski I feel around the right on Thompson here's the
• 1:56:47
  set and half that of his strike he hit that corner again to to the count on him
• 1:57:00
  and Kemp continues to impress everyone with his aggressive hitting he has one for three
• 1:57:06
  today's out there now with his hit a double trying to get a lead on our second base as
• 1:57:15
  I fly ball to the right it is a fair ball off the screen Kemp is rounding third he's
• 1:57:21
  coming home it'll be a double by Thompson the Tigers get a run back the cut for the
• 1:57:25
  six to two a low line drive it hits the barrier and
• 1:57:32
  found it back on the playing field back to back doubles starting the Tigers seventh and
• 1:57:37
  here comes a Milwaukee manager Alex Gramis out toward the mound
• 1:57:53
  we had some kind of announcement there from the press box but we didn't catch it we'll
• 1:57:57
  have to check on that anyway there's a meeting going on at the mound now Gramis has come
• 1:58:03
  out to talk the situation over and he's going to make a pitching change right here
• 1:58:17
  he'll get a new pitcher coming in for the Milwaukee and it'll be Bob McClure the left
• 1:58:31
  hander taking over pitching to milk may well did you find out about the announcement Paul
• 1:58:38
  yarny that was simply telling us about a little bit belatedly that Cecil Cooper was out of
• 1:58:46
  the ballgame because of a twisted right knee that occurred during the rundown between second
• 1:58:52
  and third so we're going to get the new pitcher Bob McClure a young man we saw yesterday come
• 1:58:58
  on in the late innings against Detroit flame throwing a left hander who was the third Kansas
• 1:59:06
  City Royal the player to come over in that deal during the offseason that saw the Brewers
• 1:59:11
  give up Darryl Porter and Jim Colburn McClure taking over here he'll be facing two left
• 1:59:19
  hand batters the next two in order at least in milk may and Phil Mankowski the Tigers
• 1:59:25
  adding their second run of the ballgame their first came back on the second inning in the
• 1:59:30
  meantime the Brewers had charged in front a six to one lead before this bottom of the
• 1:59:36
  seventh inning that line drive by Thompson was really a shot with a stiff gale freeze
• 1:59:43
  blowing in from left field anything hit down the right field line that has any loft to
• 1:59:47
  it at all is going to be carried foul and it was hit so hard so fast and so low on a
• 1:59:55
  trajectory that the wind could not affect it it hit the fence about about the barrier
• 2:00:02
  and about two feet fair just above the 325 foot marker he didn't miss hitting a line
• 2:00:08
  drive homer by very much and it just hit that fence and then bounced right down onto the
• 2:00:13
  warning track ready to go Ernie here's built may to face the left hander McClure six to
• 2:00:19
  two the Brewers lead it and may takes a curve over for a strike outfield straight up on
• 2:00:35
  milk the left fielder gives him a lot of the left field line there's a bonding ball to
• 2:00:40
  first knocked down by McMullen the throw to the pitcher McClure he can't hold it and rounding
• 2:00:46
  third is Thompson he's headed home now McClure picked up the ball does not have a play and
• 2:00:50
  the Tigers got another run in the cut the lead to six to three may is safe at first
• 2:00:55
  with nobody down we'll wait for the score a decision on that one that was not an easy
• 2:01:00
  play McMullen went to his right it'll be scored as an error against McMullen as he
• 2:01:06
  bobbled the ball and then picked up and didn't make a very good throw to McClure McClure
• 2:01:10
  couldn't handle it as he came across from the mound toward first base and then when
• 2:01:15
  the ball was dropped Thompson was able to come on in from third base here's Mankowski
• 2:01:27
  at the plate he's had a single of the flight of center he bounce the ball toward first
• 2:01:35
  here's McClure off the mound to pick it up to throw the first he is out moving on to
• 2:01:39
  second will be Milton a good bond but a good fielding play by the pitcher McClure it'll
• 2:01:48
  be scored as a sacrifice or the pitcher to the first baseman and the batter will be Tommy
• 2:01:59
  Verizon did the scorer give may an RBI and I know RBI on that earlier play all right
• 2:02:10

  third base coach Jimmy Bragan
• 2:13:02
  Charlie Graham had that problem one time when he was managing the Cubs and coaching at third
• 2:13:06
  base and he finally decided he just hold up the sign that said but to the batter so there
• 2:13:11
  wouldn't be any mistake about what sign was on here's the pitch he takes a strike that
• 2:13:17
  was in above the knees one and one
• 2:13:24
  well as Canada did the right thing though if you're not sure the manager says always

  lead now here's the set by hello the look over the first and the pitch one got a little
• 2:13:59
  loop ahead over the head of the letters he can't get it jumped in the air it was past

• 2:14:08
  and nobody down so the Brewers are coming right back with a batting attack they've had
• 2:14:13
  an error and then a little a bloop single or in the short right field to put two men
• 2:14:16
  on and bring up the second baseman Don money

• 2:16:20
  from fluid is the Thompson not in time it is a force out at second Thomas takes third
• 2:16:26
  good play by man Kowski he had a long way to go to the glove side got the ball and then
• 2:16:31
  fired a Tito for the force out he does a relay not in time for the double play man on first
• 2:16:39
  to the man on third and Hagan is a schedule batter I don't think we'll see him hit we'll
• 2:16:44
  have a pinch hitter for him he'll be right by a right hand batter
• 2:17:00
  he has four hits and 22 trips one of my home run he hit it here he has two RBI so it'll
• 2:17:12
  be bright batting for Hagan BRYE the former Minnesota twin
• 2:17:26
  infield and double play depth on Steve right hand hit who stands deep Hiller looks him
• 2:17:31
  over set by John the pitch and bright takes a strike that was a fastball Brewer's six
• 2:17:39
  runs 12 hits two errors Tigers for on seven hits in one era he'll have tried to hold him
• 2:17:45
  off now and give the tiger batters a chance in the last couple of innings here's the stretch
• 2:17:52
  by John and the pitch brass wings and nubs a little fall over on the first base side
• 2:17:59
  that one just slithered off the end of the bat Jim Crawford at work on the Tiger bullpen
• 2:18:09
  Bob Sykes gets a starting assignment Tuesday when Minnesota comes to town and it'll be
• 2:18:15
  Pete Redfern to face him then the Wednesday night game the final game of this home stand
• 2:18:20
  it'll be Roberts against Zahn is a bombing ball to short Verizon up with it throw to
• 2:18:25
  second one Tito throw to first not in time the run score and the Tigers don't get the
• 2:18:31
  double play Milwaukee adds a run to make it seven to four it'll be an RBI for the bench
• 2:18:40
  hitter Brian Charlie Moore stepping up now the number nine about a seven to four the
• 2:18:55
  Brewers lead they've got a man on first base and two men out the 100 first is Steve Bride
• 2:19:02
  and more takes a breaking pitch letter high inside corner for strike an error a single
• 2:19:12
  and a force out getting that run in as a ball gets by May Brice not moving though he started
• 2:19:21
  towards second and decided not to in field back on Charlie Moore we've had that big breeze
• 2:19:39
  all day long here throughout the game coming in from left more takes a ball low fastball
• 2:19:45
  from Heather Tigers started with rule and then a Roy on then Heather
• 2:19:59
  and the pitch he swings and fouls it upstairs to the right of the plate to to the count
• 2:20:05
  more John ready to work again to to pitch swing there's a little pop foul back of the
• 2:20:24
  plate may having trouble and can't get it may never did really quite see that ball and
• 2:20:31
  then the wind took it blew it behind him toward the seats not too tough a play but he just
• 2:20:36
  didn't handle it when made it a little tough see whether the scorer wants to give him an
• 2:20:47
  error or not so far we've had no announcement to to the count on more and the pitch he swings
• 2:21:00
  and misses it goes about the third base the ball is in May's mitt and the side retired
• 2:21:07
  so unless we hear otherwise we'll say there was no error charged to May the totals will
• 2:21:11
  be one run on one hit one error that was the one by Verizon and one man left on base we
• 2:21:17
