\"1982<\/a>
Roy Howell was the unlikely offensive hero for the Brewers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DETROIT — The Brewers beat the Tigers 5-3 with Pete Vuckovich<\/a> on the mound for his 17th win. Must’ve been an easy win, right?<\/p>\n

“People are going to look at that score and figure it was an easy win,” manager Harvey Kuenn<\/a> said after the game. “But it wasn’t.”<\/p>\n

Well, alright then. Harvey set me straight.<\/p>\n

Really, even though Vuke never seems to lose, no start of his is particularly easy. Today’s game was a shining example. The Tigers had 13 hits and three walks but left 14 on base, going 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

The biggest bullet was dodged in the bottom of the eighth. With the Brewers hanging on to a 5-3 lead, Vuckovich allowed a one-out single to
\nAlan Trammell<\/a>. Jamie Easterly<\/a> then got the call from the pen and allowed a single to Lou Whitaker<\/a>. With two on and one down, Dwight Bernard<\/a> was the third pitcher in three batters and walked Glenn Wilson<\/a> to load the bases.<\/p>\n

After Howard Johnson<\/a> popped to third, the dangerous Lance Parrish<\/a> came to the plate. It was Parrish who hit the game winning home run in the 10th inning two nights ago.<\/p>\n

“I figured he’d try to jerk it just like the other night,” Bernard said, “and that’s exactly what he did. But it was a curve on the outside corner and he hit it off the end of his bat.”<\/p>\n

It may have been off the end of his bat, but Parrish still gave it a ride. The bases loaded blast sent Ben Oglivie<\/a> to the wall where the ball finally died in his glove for the final out.<\/p>\n

The offensive hero of the night was Roy Howell<\/a>, who had an RBI double in the second to give the Brewers the lead to start and a two-run single in the sixth to give them the lead for good. Both crucial hits were with two outs.<\/p>\n

It was another key win as the second place Baltimore Orioles again beat the New York Yankees to remain a game and a half behind the Brewers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Brewers won a potentially important coin flip. In the event of a three-way tie between the Brewers, Red Sox and Orioles, the Brewers would play a game at Boston. The winner would host the Orioles. Since the Red Sox are now 5 1\/2 games back, the only tie that is particularly likely is with the Orioles. So this is a big deal.<\/p>\n

The Brewers have a day off tomorrow before starting a three game series against the reeling Yankees on September 17 in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
