Milwaukee and Cleveland were playing twice in one day, so the biggest fear a manager has running their bullpen is a short stint by the starting pitcher.
Enter Don Sutton.
Sutton couldn't get out of the first before hitting the showers, getting shelled for six runs in just two-thirds of an inning. Andre Thornton went deep for a two-run homer in the inning.
The only two runs for the Brew Crew came courtesy of Charlie Moore, who launched two solo shots off starter Steve Farr.

Game #610 - Milwaukee Brewers, 10 @ Cleveland Indians, 5
Like I said, during a doubleheader the manager doesn't want to see the starter get roasted early.
Enter Moose Haas.
Despite Milwaukee getting a three-run lead in the first thanks to a Bill Schroeder home run, Haas gave up a solo homer to George Vukovich in the second, an RBI double to Julio Franco in the third, and then a Chris Bando two-run dinger in the third as well. But after Schroeder launched his SECOND three-run home run in the fourth inning Haas got yanked and Jamie Cocanower sacrificed his next start in the rotation by engaging in emergency mop-up duty. He held Cleveland to just one more run over six innings of relief!
But our good friend Bill Schroeder wasn't done...HE BLASTED ANOTHER THREE-RUN HOMER IN THE EIGHTH!!! That made it three homers and NINE RBI on the day!!! I'm pretty sure that's the record high for the season.
Winning Pitcher - Jamie Cocanower
Losing Pitcher - Bert Blyleven
