Game 157: Broberg Handcuffs Tigers, 6-0

Milwaukee, WI (Fri., Sept. 26, 1975) - Darrell Porter's two-run homer in the first inning proved to be all the offense the Milwaukee Brewers needed, as they beat the Tigers, 6-0, at County Stadium.

The Tigers managed just six hits off starter Pete Broberg in 7.1 innings, and went hitless against reliever Bill Castro the rest of the way.

The Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the eighth inning with Milwaukee ahead, 4-0, but Castro entered the game and retired Aurelio Rodriguez and Chuck Scrivener to squash the threat. The Brewers then added two more runs in their half of the eighth.

Porter drove a Ray Bare (7-11) fastball deep over the right field wall with Bob Sheldon on first base in the opening inning for a 2-0 Milwaukee lead. Porter finished with three hits.

The Brewers pounded out 14 hits.

The Major Said: "Too many shutouts. It's inexcusable to have so many games where we don't score a single run. We deserve everything we get these days."
