\"1982<\/a>
Doc Medich pitched seven shutout innings for the Brewers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SEATTLE — For seven innings, Seattle fans witnessed a pitchers’ duel. Doc Medich<\/a> of the Brewers and Jim Beattie<\/a> of the Mariners shut out the opposition. Once they were removed, offense suddenly had the advantage.<\/p>\n

Beattie left the game prior to the start of the seventh inning, and the Brewers roughed up relievers Bryan Clark<\/a> and Ron Musselman<\/a> in the eighth. Milwaukee reached on four consecutive singles, scoring three runs to build what seemed to be an insurmountable lead with Rollie Fingers<\/a> waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n

It was Medich that Brewers fans were worried about. He was far from impressive in his Brewers debut on August 15 against the Blue Jays, walking six in 5 1\/3 innings. So when Medich pitched seven shutout innings, limiting the Mariners to three hits and a walk, it felt safe to hand the ball to Fingers, who had been out since August 13 with a sore pitching elbow.<\/p>\n

Fingers was fine in the eighth, allowing a harmless two-out single to Joe Simpson<\/a>. But Al Cowens<\/a> led off the bottom of the ninth with a double to left and Dave Revering<\/a> hit a two-run homer to make it a one-run game. Fingers would retire Rick Sweet<\/a> and Dave Henderson<\/a> to end the game, but not before making Brewers fans sweat.<\/p>\n

Maybe Fingers was just rusty. That is the hope. Because if this is a sign that he still isn’t healthy, trouble could be lurking for the Brewers. There simply is no replacement for a healthy Rollie Fingers.<\/p>\n

The Brewers go for the sweep tomorrow at 6 pm CT.<\/p>\n

Game Notes:<\/b> The Boston Red Sox fell to the Oakland A’s 12-5, giving the Brewers a six game lead in the AL East. … Rickey Henderson<\/a> stole his 114th base for the A’s today, putting him four shy of Lou Brock<\/a>‘s single season record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
