Harry Lyerly, again, and first place, again, finally

Harry Lyerly hurls his league leading (best in all of the WPK) 7th shutout of the 1970 season, striking out 14 batters for the 4th time (edit: sorry, actually 5th time) in his Brewers career- 5 more times than any other Brewers pitcher ever has- while giving up just 3 hits and walking just 1 batter. (Edit: I should add that Lyerly's game score for this game was 94, which is the second highest in the WPK this season after a 95 Mike Hiatt scored in his June 21st no-hitter in which he struck out 9 and walked 1.)

The Brewers manager says that Harry looked like a real ace out there. Well, I think it's about time we just accept that Harry Lyerly IS the ace of the Brewers staff.

Phoenix had the day off so the Brewers move into a virtual tie for first place (a few percentage points ahead of the Speed Devils.)
