\"1982<\/a>
Paul Molitor made up for a costly error by nearly hitting for the cycle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MILWAUKEE — In the second inning, Paul Molitor<\/a> booted a Lou Piniella<\/a> ground ball. Piniella would eventually score to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. Molitor would more than make up for that mistake.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the second, Molitor singled home Roy Howell<\/a> with two outs to tie the game at two. After the Yankees retook the lead on a two-run error by Jim Gantner<\/a> in the third, Molitor hit a two-run triple to tie the game again in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Molitor wasn’t done. With the Brewers up 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth, he smashed a solo home run to left center. Molitor would walk his final time up, coming a double shy of the cycle.<\/p>\n

Of course, that’s not all the multi-talented third baseman would accomplish on this day. Molitor also stole second in the second inning to tie him with Tommy Harper<\/a> for the Brewers’ all-time record of 38 stolen bases (Harper set the franchise record of 73 the prior year with the Pilots).<\/p>\n

“Stealing bases is great as it allows me to score more runs,” a team-first Molitor would later say, “helping the team win games.”<\/p>\n

This has been a seasons of bests for Molitor. In addition to the 38 stolen bases, his 16 home runs is also a career high. He also has a career best 62 RBI and he scored his 122nd run today, a franchise record.<\/p>\n

Today was an example of how leaders take control of a game on this team. Molitor made a costly mistake early. While he could have hung his head, he took it as an opportunity to step up on offense.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s Molitor or Robin Yount<\/a> or Cecil Cooper<\/a> or Gorman Thomas<\/a> or Ben Oglivie<\/a>, a member of the Brewers offense is regularly stepping up when the team needs it. Today, it was Molly’s time to shine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
