May 22, 1973, at Phoenix
In a scheduling oddity, the Brewers head down to the desert for a single game against the once again disappointing Phoenix Speed Devils.
The Brewers come from behind in the great hitters park that is Municipal Stadium, winning 9-6.
Although he probably didn't deserve a win, Erik Sloan gets one anyway. Sloan allowed 5 runs on 9 hits in 7 innings pitched. With the victory he improves to 4-3 with a 4.04 ERA.
Although it hasn't been a great sophomore season for third baseman Mike Foster (.240/.290/.314), he had a great game, going 2 for 5 with 3 runs scored and hit 2 doubles to get to 4 on the season. Pat Rondeau (.452/.464/.538) kept his hitting streak alive by going 2 for 5. He hit his 6th double of the season.
Jose de los Santos pitched the final 1 1/3rd innings for his 4th save (3.48 ERA.)
The Brewers are now in a virtual tie for 1st with L.A. and Brooklyn, 1 game ahead of the Baltimore Lords, who are their next opponents.
