April 10, 1972. Milwaukee 7, Baltimore 3.

The troubling trend of Oriole starting pitchers getting hit hard continues as the Brewers more than doubled their previous run production to date beating the O's 7-3.  All the damage came off Palmer as the Brewers knocked him out with a 6-run 6th.

Everybody contributed for the Brewers as they strung together 5 singles and 2 doubles to break a close game wide open.  George Scott had 3 hits and Ron Theobald and Rob Ellis each drove in 2.  Even pitcher Gary Ryerson helped himself going 2/3 with a double, RBI, scored twice and laid down a sacrifice bunt before leaving.

Speaking of Ryerson, the Orioles couldn't solve him.  In his big league debut, the lefthander only gave up 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings.  Meanwhile, perennial 20 game Jim Palmer was roughed up for the 2nd straight start and his ERA sits at an unsightly 8.49.  Brooks Robinson broke out of his slump with a homer and a double.  Roric Harrison gave 2.2 innings of scoreless relief.

After a day off tomorrow, these two come back Wednesday. The Brewers haven't named a starter between Skip Lockwood and Bill Parsons.  Baltimore will counter with Dave McNally.

Brewers Win at Baltimore, 7-3
The Milwaukee Brewers topped the Baltimore Orioles, 7-3, in AL action at Memorial Stadium 1959-1975. The standout performance belonged to Milwaukee pitcher and Los Angeles, California, native Gary Ryerson. The win gives Milwaukee a record of 2-2.

Milwaukee used a well-timed hit by Bobby Mitchell to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Brewers ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Ryerson.

April 12, 1972. Boston 7, Cleveland 1 (Game 1)

Image
Boston's hitters looked like they were answering the early call today as they came around and put a whooping on Cleveland, 7-1.  Tommy Harper took Gaylord Perry's 4th pitch over the left field wall to lead off the game with a 1-0 lead and the Red Sox just kept going.  Cleveland got its only run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd on Del Unser's RBI single. But any idea of a shutdown inning went by the boards when Boston put 3 on the board in the top of the 4th off Perry.  Perry, however, dug his own hole that inning with 2 walks to start the inning. Carlton Fisk doubled in one, followed by Ben Oglivie's RBI single and Juan Beniquez' sacrifice fly.  Oglivie had a 2-run single in the 9th to put the game out of reach. Sonny Siebert pitched well, going 7 innings, fanning 5 and only allowing 1 run to even his record at 1-1. Gary Peters cleaned up the last 2 innings.

April 13, 1972. Pittsburgh 5, Chicago Cubs 2

Image
It was a clear day with the wind blowing out to right at Wrigley Field, but the 18216 fans in attendance saw an extremely sloppy game played as the Pirates beat the Cubs 5-2.  Pittsburgh won despite committing 5 errors, 3 by their pitchers.  The Cubs chipped in with 3 errors of their own.  However both teams' pitchers were up to the task as each team stranded 11 runners and only gave up 1 unearned run. The Cubs took a 2-1 lead in the third on a Billy Williams 2-run homer, following a Richie Hebner error that put Don Kessinger on base.  Not all of the fielding in this game was a disaster, however, as Manny Sanguillen had thrown out Jose Cardenal stealing, or the score would be 3-1. The score stayed there until the 6th.  One of the unlikeliest Pirates, Gene Alley, put the Pirates on top to stay, 3-2, with a 2-run homer off Cub starter Burt Hooton.  Hooton knuckled under to keep the Pirates off the board through the rest of his 7 innings.   The Cubs ...

April 14, 1972. Pittsburgh 5, New York Mets 3

Image
 Pittsburgh ran their winning streak to 3 games with a 5-3 win over the Mets.  This was Bob Moose's first start and it was a dandy.  Moose threw a complete game only allowing 5 hits, 2 earned runs, and didn't walk anybody. Pittsburgh got off on the right foot in the top of the 1st when Roberto Clemente followed up a Dave Cash single with a 2-run homer. He later had an RBI triple in the 8th to finish with 3 hits, 3 RBI and 2 runs scored.  That RBI triple and Clemente scoring on Al Oliver's single gave the Pirates some breathing room at 5-2.  John Milner hit a leadoff homer in the 9th, but the Mets couldn't threaten any more than that. Those 3 hits by Clemente push his career total to within 106 of the magic 3000 plateau, which seems like an easily attainable goal this year if he stays healthy.
