Brewers 5, White Sox 2
\nBrewers now 52-35 (1st)
\nBox Score<\/a> | Season Schedule<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Gorman<\/a>
Gorman's two-run double gave the Brewers the lead for good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MILWAUKEE — It was only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Through six innings, White Sox starter Britt Burns<\/a> had the vaunted Brewers offense figured out. No runs on three hits, including three 1-2-3 innings. After six and one half innings of play, the White Sox led the Brewers 2-0.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can’t keep this team down forever. When you have the chance, you’d better create a larger cushion than a measly two runs. That ain’t gonna hold up. It didn’t tonight.<\/p>\n

With two down and Don Money<\/a> standing on second, Jim Gantner<\/a> and Paul Molitor<\/a> struck with back-to-back singles (aided by an error on Ron LeFlore<\/a>) to quickly tie the game at two and knock Burns from the game. Salome Barojas<\/a> temporarily calmed the flames by getting Robin Yount<\/a> to ground out to end the seventh, but the fire grew to a roar in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Salome faced three batters that frame and couldn’t retire one. Cecil Cooper<\/a> singled to center, Ted Simmons<\/a> singled on a shot off of Salome and Gorman Thomas<\/a> doubled to left to bring home both of them after a Salome balk moved both runners up a base. Kevin Hickey<\/a> then took his turn on the mound, but the Brewers would add one more with a Charlie Moore<\/a> sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

This is the problem if you’re the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox or anyone else in the American League. Even when you slow down this record-setting offense, a sub-par game may be good enough to beat you. And the pitching always seems to step up when they need it most.<\/p>\n

Today, Bob McClure<\/a> did just enough, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks through 6 1\/3 innings. Newcomer Pete Ladd<\/a> made his Brewers debut by pitching 1 2\/3 innings of scoreless, hitless baseball, and Rollie Fingers<\/a> finished it off in typical Rollie Fingers-fashion — with a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n

No, the Brewers didn’t hit four home runs today. They didn’t hit any. They “only” scored five runs. But they aren’t a one-dimensional team. They will always, it seems, find a way to win.<\/p>\n

This was their seventh straight win and the fourth in a row against the White Sox. The Brewers go for the rare five-game sweep tomorrow. The Red Sox kept pace by beating the Royals 8-4 and remain a half game out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
