Storm Davis ran into his own storm in the top of the second inning. Chet Lemon led off with a solo homer and then he gave up four straight singles. Two more runs plated in part from an Al Bumbry error, giving the Tigers an early 3-0 lead.
Dan Petry, meanwhile, was on cruise control until the bottom of the seventh. He gave up five total runs on a bizarre combination of singles, walks, and a passed ball. Cal Ripken even chipped in with a sacrifice fly to score Bumbry. The O's would add two more in the eighth to put one in the win column.

Game #710 - Milwaukee Brewers, 8 @ Boston Red Sox, 6
This game was monumental for me because it was Mark Brouhard's first game back after being injured in the very first game of the season. That was over six years ago! He didn't do much in his return, though, going 0 for 3 with two whiffs.
The Red Sox launched four solo homers off starter Moose Haas. Not all at once, though Tony Armas and Rich Gedman went back to back in the second inning. In the top of the seventh Boston had a 6-4 lead when pinch-hitter Rick Manning plated Jim Sundberg and Robin Yount to tie the game. Sundberg slapped a double in the eighth to give them the go-ahead run off Bob Stanley. Meanwhile, Rick Waits, Tom Tellmann and Rollie Fingers blanked Boston over the final three innings to give the Brew Crew a victory.
Winning Pitcher - Tom Tellmann
