Brew Crew sweeps Tigers

GAME 1 - County Stadium
Aguirre vs Augustine
Brewers 7, Tigers 4
Don Wert's RBI single with 2 out in the 7th tied the score at 4-4 and erased Jerry Augustine's chances for a win.  Larry Hisle led off the bottom of the 7th with a blast to put the Brew crew back up by 1.  Dick Davis' 2 run shot in the 8th gave Milwaukee a 3 run margin that they would take to the bank.  Eduardo Rodriguez, who blew the save by giving up an unearned run (Wert's single) got the win and Randy Stein, who pitched a perfect 9th got the save.

GAME 2
McLain vs Haas
Brewers 9, Tigers 4
Spot starter Moose Haas stunned even his manager by allowing just 1 run in 6 2/3 innings on the hill Haas fanned 7, while walking 2 and allowing just 4 hits.  Milwaukee had the long ball going once again as Gorman Thomas hit both his 7th and 8th of the season to knock in 4.  Oglivie and Molitor each had homers.  Molitor's 2 run shot in the 6th made it 7-1 and the Brewers were fastened to cruise to victory until Haas' replacement Bob McClure gave up 3 in the 8th to make it a 7-4 game.  Milwaukee answered right back with 2 more insurance tallies in the bottom of the 8th.  Dick Davis' pinch hit RBI single plated Thomas and Buck Martinez scored on a Molitor groundout.  Randy Stein loaded the bases in the 9th and Bill Castro, who earned his second save, had to come in for the final 2 outs to close it out.

GAME 3 - Tiger Stadium
Caldwell vs Lolich
Brewers 5, Tigers 2
Dick McAuliffe led off the bottom of the 1st with his 3rd roundtripper of the season and his second of the series.  McAuliffe's blast tied the game a 1 all.  Both teams exchanged runs in the 5th to keep the game knotted.  Both crafty lefties (Mike Caldwell and Mickey Lolich) were matching each other inning for inning with the pressure squarely on "the fat man" to be his team's stopper.  With 2 out and runners on 1st and 2nd Sexto Lezcano delivered a clutch RBI single to score Don Money and put Milwaukee up 3-1.  An RBI single by Lezcano in the 9th and a sac fly by Charlie Moore gave Caldwell a 3 run cushion, which made it easy for him to go the distance after being very economical with only 100 pitches thrown in anger.  Milwaukee moves to 11-3 and sits atop the AL West.  Detroit drops to 5-9 as manager Davis awaits their dormant lumber to come alive.
