May 26-27, 1971, at Phoenix
The Brewers then travel south to Phoenix for two games against the first place Speed Devils. And while the games were close and low scoring, the Brewers lose both.
In game 1, Cheol-han Lee continued his uneven start to the 1971 season, allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits (7K, 3BB) over 8 innings pitched in a 4-1 loss. Lee drops to 2-4 with a 3.78 ERA. The Brewers manage only 4 hits in the game against veteran lefty Dave Iskra. (As has been their pattern for several years, the Brewers have a much worse record against lefthanded starters this season than against righthanders, .400 to .667 in terms of winning percentage.) The lone Brewers run was scored on a Bobby Erbakan (.239/.271/.391) solo HR, his 3rd of the season.
Reigning MGL Pitcher of the Year Harry Lyerly (5-3, 3.49) gave the Brewers a solid 7 1/3rd innings in game 2- allowing 2 runs on just 3 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 4- but the Brewers drop a narrow 3-2 decision when the Speed Devils get a walk-off win in the bottom of the 9th against Brewers closer Miguel Solis (1-1, 1.09). Jamison Bash (.299/.384/.632) hit his 13th homerun of the season in the loss.
