MILWAUKEE — Remember when the season-opening two-game series with the Indians in Milwaukee was snowed out<\/a>? Well, the Brewers and Indians found a time to play it — today in a doubleheader.<\/p>\n

Game 1 brought concern about possibly the team’s best arm. Game 2 brought hope about the new one.<\/p>\n

The Brewers scored a run in each the first and third innings of the first game thanks to RBI singles by Ben Oglivie<\/a> and Gorman Thomas<\/a>. The team would reach on only two other hits in the game against starter Rick Sutcliffe<\/a>, but it’s all they would need.<\/p>\n

Moose Haas<\/a> allowed a run on five hits in 6 1\/3 innings while Dwight Bernard<\/a>, Rollie Fingers<\/a> and Pete Ladd<\/a> combined to throw 2 2\/3 innings of no-hit ball.<\/p>\n

Why, you ask, was Fingers mentioned second? Why didn’t the closer finish the game? That’s the concern.<\/p>\n

Fingers struck out the side in the eighth, but walked Mike Hargrove<\/a> to lead off the top of the ninth. After Toby Harrah<\/a> bunted the runner to second, Fingers threw two pitches to Al Thornton. After the second, he clutched his throwing arm and was done for the game.<\/p>\n

Initial reaction was panic. Fingers had already missed some time recently with a sore elbow. Had it gotten worse?<\/p>\n

“It’s a muscle in his forearm,” manager Harvey Kuenn<\/a> assured us. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but it’s nothing serious.”<\/p>\n

Certainly a relief, and hopefully Fingers won’t miss any additional time.<\/p>\n

Pete Ladd picked up where Fingers left off and struck out the final two batters to end the game.<\/p>\n

Game 2 was the much anticipated Brewers debut for Don Sutton<\/a>, acquired near the deadline from the Houston Astros. Though he wasn’t perfect, Sutton was able to get himself out of trouble through the first eight innings.<\/p>\n

The Brewers entered the top of the ninth with a chance to win both games at an identical 2-1 score. After retiring Toby Harrah on a foul pop-up, Thornton and Ron Hassey<\/a> singled to center to put the go-ahead run on.<\/p>\n

Pitching coach Pat Dobson<\/a> then paid a visit to the mound to talk to Sutton. To the delight of the Brewers faithful, who roared with approval, Sutton was left in to face the dangerous Von Hayes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hayes promptly hit a three-run home run and the Brewers weren’t able to recover.<\/p>\n

“I’d have to say that the response and reception I received tonight had to be one of my biggest thrills in baseball,” Sutton said after the game. “I was nervous to pitch and each time I went out they made me feel twice as good.<\/p>\n

“I wish I could have given them a ninth inning finish that merited the response.”<\/p>\n

It’s okay, Don. You dazzled for eight innings. We saw glimmers of what is to come.<\/p>\n

To be frank, the Crew was lucky to win one game after combining for four runs on 12 hits in the two games. It was not a performance befitting the nickname “Harvey’s Wallbangers.”<\/p>\n

The Brewers remain 4 1\/2 games up on the Red Sox and next host the California Angels for a three game series beginning tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
