Brewers 16, at Cubs 7
Tex Boynton threw 5 strong innings to earn his fourth or fifth win of the year giving up 0 earned runs before Brusco came in to earn the spotty save. He was probably distracted by 3 Brewer errors, but endured despite this. The Brewers scored 2 in the first, 5 in the second, and another 1 in the third to go up 8-1 highlighted by Slappy Mendoza's bases clearing triple in the second. Mendoza also scored 4 runs in this game. The Brewers scored 3 more in the fifth on back to back doubles by Angry Joe Meyer & Woody making it 11-1. The Brewer defense Brusco's walks gave the Cubs 6 runs in the sixth & seventh, but the Brewers scored 5 more times in the seventh & eighth innings to put the game away. Pudgy Nick Wilson had 2 hits including a double & 2 RBI's. Matty Jones stole 5 bases on the day despite K' ing 4 times. Hit the cages for Christs sake.
