Game 106: Fred Norman makes sure that the Riders don't go into a slide, throwing eight shutout innings against Detroit to win his 15th game, 6-0. Larry Hisle and Mike Lum hit home runs.
Game 107: Ramon Hernandez blows ANOTHER save, his ninth of the season, this time allowing five hits in the ninth to erase a 5-2 Rider lead. Darold Knowles finally gets the last out before Detroit takes the lead (but walks a batter to load the bases first). All ends well, though, as Larry Hisle blasts a home run in the bottom half to win it 6-5.
Game 108: Another wild one! Jon Matlack and Wilbur Wood match scoreless frames for seven innings, and the first relievers in throw two more blank innings each, sending the game to extras with no score. Darold Knowles relieves Elias Sosa with two down in the 10th and promptly walks the first two batters. The next two batters hit singles, and Detroit is up 3-0. Dave LaRoche finally gets the final out, striking out Ron Santo. Jack Aker enters for Detroit and retires Richie Hebner before allowing singles to Eddie Leon and Mike Lum. Larry Hisle comes to the plate... BLAMM!!!! His three-run homer ties the score. Bill Champion relieves, allows a single to Nate Colbert and walks Bill Robinson before retiring Thurman Munson for the second out. Champion then throws a wild pitch, putting runners at second and third for Charlie Spikes, who shoots a grounder through the hole to field, bringing home Colbert for the winner!
Milwaukee heads to Cleveland looking for some less stressful competition.

Game 115: Thurman Munson motors around third and scores on Gene Michael's ninth-inning single, giving Milwaukee a 3-2 lead. Despite some recent struggles, the Riders turn to Ramon Hernandez for the bottom half and he comes through, throwing a scoreless inning for his 34th save.

Game 117: Tommy John has two really bad innings; Chicago's Reggie Cleveland has only one. Chicago takes the series with an 8-6 win in the finale. The loss leaves Milwaukee at 84-33, two games ahead of Chicago in the battle for home field advantage in their likely first-round playoff tilt.

Game 133: Jim Slaton throws eight shutout innings against the Riders, outdueling Fred Norman. Milwaukee gets consecutive home runs from Nate Colbert and Bill Robinson with two down in the ninth off Orlando Pena, but can do no more, losing 3-2 and falling three games behind the White Sox.
Game 134: Richie Hebner hits a two-out double in the 12th to score Ted Sizemore with the lead run, and Ramon Hernandez allows only a single in the bottom half to close out a 4-3 win over Washington.
Game 135: Larry Biittner's first home run of the season is a grand slam in the third that gives Milwaukee a 6-0 lead.. however, the bullpen collapses late (Darold Knowles being the main culprit) and the Commandos force extra innings with three in the eighth. The extra frames are quiet until the 14th, when Thurman Munson leads off with a home run. Ramon Hernandez throws a scoreless bottom half and the Riders escape with an 8-7 win.
Milwaukee hosts Baltimore next.
