The Angels got a quick 1 - 0 lead in the first on a double by Brian Downing and a single by Fred Lynn. But Milwaukee tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Paul Molitor doubled and eventually came home on a sacrifice fly by Ted Simmons. The Angels made it 2 - 1 in the third on an RBI single from Fred Lynn, and stretched the lead to 3 - 1 in the fourth on a run - scoring single from Bob Boone. Milwaukee cut the lead to 3 - 2 in the bottom of the fourth on Ben Oglivie 's homer. The score remained unchanged until the bottom of the seventh, when disaster struck the Angels. Milwaukee loaded the bases on two singles and a walk. Cecil Cooper then cracked the series - winning hit, a two - run single that put the Brewers ahead 4 - 3. The Milwaukee bullpen kept the Angels off the board in the final two innings, and the Brewers took home the franchise 's first American League pennant. 1982 World Series Main article : 1982 World Series Though the teams had never met, the cities had an existing commercial rivalry in the beer market, as St. Louis is the home of Anheuser Busch while Milwaukee is the home of Miller Brewing. This led to the Series being nicknamed the `` Suds Series ''. Paul Molitor set a World Series record with his fifth hit in the 9th inning of Game 1. Robin Yount would set another record in the 7th inning of Game 5 by becoming the first player in Series history to have two four - hit games in one Series. Cardinals catcher Darrell Porter was given the Series MVP award. Brewers pitcher Mike Caldwell, who won two games, would have been a strong candidate, as well as Molitor. Paul Molitor would eventually win the Series MVP Award 11 years later as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. As it was, the winning team won the MVP. The only player on the losing team to win the MVP was Bobby Richardson of the 1960 New York Yankees. Both participants are currently in the NL Central, due to the transfer of the Brewers from the American League to the National League in 1998. This raises the possibility of the Brewers eventually playing a World Series in two different leagues.

In a scary moment, Andújar was knocked out of the game when Cecil Cooper hit a line drive that hit Andújar in the leg, though the injury turned out to not be very serious. With bullpen ace Bruce Sutter pitching in relief, the Brewers attempted a comeback in the 8th inning. With two out, Cecil Cooper hit a 2 - run homer to put Milwaukee on the board. The Brewers then got two base - runners, with Gorman Thomas representing the tying run. Thomas hit a deep fly ball to right - center field, but McGee, becoming the star of the game, made a leaping grab to rob Thomas of a potential game - tying home run. The Cardinals scored an insurance run in the 9th, and Sutter closed out the Brewers for the 6 - 2 Cardinals win and giving St. Louis a 2 - 1 Series lead.

From there, the Brewers bats suddenly came alive. Jim Gantner started the scoring with an RBI double. After a Paul Moliter walk, Robin Yount followed with a bases - loaded 2 - run single to put the Brewers within 1 run. Cecil Cooper then scored Moliter with an infield hit to tie the game. 3 batters later, with two outs, Gorman Thomas hit a 2 - run double to give the Brewers the lead. Bob McClure then finished the Cardinals off for the save, giving the Brewers a crucial Game 4 win, tying the Series 2 - 2.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth when the Cardinals scored first on a Lonnie Smith RBI single. Ben Oglivie tied it for the Brew Crew in the fifth with a solo homer, and they took a 3 - 1 lead in the sixth when Jim Gantner scored on an error and Cecil Cooper hit a sacrifice fly. But, in the bottom of the sixth, Vuckovich began to run into trouble. With one out, Ozzie Smith singled and Lonnie Smith doubled him to third. Brewers manager Harvey Kuenn then pulled Vuckovich in favor of Bob McClure, who intentionally walked pinch - hitter Gene Tenace to load the bases. Keith Hernandez then tied the game with a two - run single. George Hendrick then gave the Cardinals the lead with an RBI single. The Cardinals punctuated the scoring with two runs in the eighth on RBI singles by Series MVP Darrell Porter and Steve Braun. Andújar pitched seven strong innings and Bruce Sutter pitched the eighth and ninth for his second save.
