And sure enough, the Brewers drop 3 of 4 to the lowly Diamond Kings who start to play a bit better under new skipper, Orlando Tobar.

The Brewers lose the first game by a score of 6-5. The Brewers jump out to an early 5-0 lead, scoring all of their runs in the 2nd inning, but young top prospect Steve Green, who pitched a gem his last time out, could not hold onto the lead. Green gave up 6 runs (5 earned) in just 5 innings pitched, striking out 3, walking 1, and giving up 2 HR's. Green falls to 2-2 with a 2.94 ERA.) Antonio Puente (.307/.390/.648) went 2 for 4 and hit his 4th double of the season in the loss.

Daniel Torres continued his great start to the 1971 season by leading the team to a 7-2 victory in game 2. Torres gave up 2 runs on just 3 hits in 7 innings pitched (5 K, 5 BB) and improves to 4-1 with a 1.91 ERA. Bobby Erbakan (.278/.291/.463) led the way offensively by going 2 for 5, both of his hits HR's- his first 2 for the season- and driving in 4 runs. Antonio Puente (.315/.400/.675) went 2 for 4 and hit HR #9 for the season.

The Brewers then have their top 2 pitchers- Cheol-han Lee and Harry Lyerly- on the mound to start the Sunday doubleheader games. It seemed likely they would at least be able to salvage a series split.
But no, that didn't happen.
Lee was pretty horrible in the early contest- allowing 6 runs on 10 hits in 7 1/3rd innings pitched as the Brewers lost 6-4. Lee drops to 2-3 with a 3.71 ERA for the season. Jamison Bash (.302/.383/.623) did hit his 9th homer of the season (to tie Puente for the team lead) in the loss.
Harry Lyerly also had a bad game in the night-cap, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits in just 5 1/3rd innings pitched. Lyerly struck out 4 while walking 5 and giving up his 8th HR of the season. The Brewers lose 5-1 and Lyerly drops to 5-2 with a 3.48 ERA. Backup catcher Jeff Darden (.208/.259/.208) was the bright spot on offense as he went 2 for 3 in the game.

The Brewers drop to 17-13 and are now in a virtual tie for 3rd place with the Charlotte Sting, behind Phoenix and San Francisco who each have a 19-11 record.
