May 24-25, 1971, versus Baltimore

In game 1 of a 2 game series at home versus the Baltimore Lords, rookie starter Steve Green hurled a complete game, allowing 3 runs on just 5 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 3 batters. He also got plenty of run support, led by Antonio Puente (.317/.394/.667), who is on target for his best season yet as a big leaguer. Puente went 3 for 4 in the game, hitting his 7th double and 11th HR of the season. Ruben Souffront (.314/.329/.457) hit HR #2 and went 2 for 5. Tanner Yurek (.204/.288/.327), off to a horrible start after having one of the best seasons of his career in 1970, was 2 for 4 and hit his 2nd HR of the season. The Brewers won 8-3. Steve Green improved to 3-2 with a 3.26 ERA and is now second only to teammate Harry Lyerly in K/9IP in the MGL (7.6 to Lyerly's 8.1).

The Brewers drop the second game of the series in a back-and-forth game that required 10 innings for resolution. Daniel Torres (5-1, 2.04) hurled 7 1/3rd innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, earning a no decision. Ryan Rodgers (.296/.359/.388) went 3 for 5 in the loss.
