June 10, 1984 - Brouhard as a Rock

Game #736 - Milwaukee Brewers, 9 @ Boston Red Sox, 5

Bob Ojeda had a nightmare start to the game.  After loading the bases in the top of the first by plunking Bobby Clark, Mark Brouhard dropped the hammer.  Grand slam!  The Red Sox wouldn't go down quietly, though.  Tony Armas picked up an RBI single in the first and then Jackie Gutierrez tripled home two teammates in the seconding inning before crossing home plate on an RBI hit by Wade Boggs.

In the top of the fourth, though, two more Brewers scored thanks to consecutive errors by Gutierrez and Boggs.  The Brewers tagged on three more insurance runs in the top of the ninth and the game was beyond reach for Boston.
