The '82 Brewers wrapped up a home stand with a 7-2 loss to Oakland on May 26. The loss dropped the Crew below .500 for the first time since they were 5-6 on April 22.
Tom Underwood baffled Milwaukee hitters. He allowed two runs on three hits in a complete game victory. The two runs? A solo home run by Charlie Moore in the first inning and a solo home run by Don Money in the ninth inning.
Bob McClure balked in the tying run in the top of the second inning. The A's took the lead with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth. McClure threw away a pickoff attempt allowing one run to score. Ned Yost committed an error later in the inning that let in another Oakland run.
RBI doubles by Mike Heath and Joe Rudi in the seventh put the game out of reach. The two runs Oakland scored in the ninth were just rubbing it in.
