We&#8217;ve recapped games with gaudy offensive stats. We&#8217;ve gushed over the home runs and full team dominance. It happened again today. But this time, it just happens to coincide with a tone-setting game.<\/p>\n<p>Shall we rattle off all of the impressive numbers from this game? Alright, try to keep up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/brewers1982.com\/robin-yount-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robin Yount<\/a> went 5-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1012979&#038;position=OF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gorman Thomas<\/a> went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI.

Cooper&#8217;s home run was a grand slam in the seventh.<\/li>\n<li>The four homers give the Brewers 31 in their last 14 games, breaking the record of 29 set by the 1961 Yankees.<\/li>\n<li>Every Brewers starter had at least one hit. Four (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1009040&#038;position=3B\/DH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Molitor<\/a>, Yount, Simmons, Thomas) had at least two hits.<\/li>\n<li>The Brewers were 6-for-12 (.500) with runners in scoring position.<\/li>\n<li>The Brewers have now won 13 of their last 16 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s downright silly. These weren&#8217;t the lowly Minnesota Twins that the Brewers embarrassed today. They were the Boston Red Sox, owners of the best record in the American League.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just this game, but the Brewers have beaten the Red Sox in four of five games this season, averaging 9.6 runs per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Silly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen this kind of hitting for this long of a time in my entire career in baseball,&#8221; said manager <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1007200&#038;position=SS\/OF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvey Kuenn<\/a>. And he&#8217;s seen a lot of baseball, and a lot of hitting.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and the Brewers actually got some decent pitching. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1008400&#038;position=P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bob McClure<\/a> threw a complete game to improve to 7-2 on the season. Asked if he had a goal to win 15 or 20 games this season, McClure&#8217;s response was simple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really, my only goal is to help a winning cause and get us into the playoffs and the World Series,&#8221; McClure said, simply.<\/p>\n<p>Damn, right, Bob.
