At brand new Riverfront Stadium in Portland, the Brewers face the Wild Things in a 3-game series. Riverfront seats 42,500 and is expected to be one of the better pitching parks in the MGL, especially in terms of homerun suppression.

In game 1 the reputation holds true as the Brewers fall to the Wild Things 1-0, spoiling a pretty good start by veteran lefty Daniel Torres (6 1/3rd IP, 0 R, 6 H, 7K, 3 BB).

Saturday's game 2 is postponed due to rain and rescheduled for Sunday as half of a double-header.

In the first game of the Sunday doubleheader the Brewers hitters come alive and the visitors win 12-2. Cheol-han Lee struck out 15 batters in the game, tying the WPK single-game record and setting a new Denver record, over-taking Harry Lyerly who held the previous record of 14 (something he has accomplished 4 times.) Lee improves to 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA. Rookie Joe McPhillips showed signs of his great potential, being named the Player of the Game by going 4 for 5, collecting his first big league HR (a 3-run shot in the 6th inning) and his first big league stolen base. McPhillips drove in 5 of the Brewers 12 runs.

The night-cap sees the Captain, Abel Pennington, continue his fine start to the 1972 season (1-0, 1.32) by pitching 6 2/3rds shutout innings, allowing 6 hits, striking out 4 and walking 3. The bullpen (Liann-wei Hua and Miguel Solis) preserved the shutout and the Brewers prevail 3-0. Backup catcher Spencer Wilson (.500/.500/.500), off to a great start, went 4 for 5 in the game with 2 RBI.
