Bando Delivers Bloop RBI In Brewers Win Over Indians
Sal Bando, 36, still proves vital when called. His sixth inning bloop single scored the go ahead run as Milwaukee beat Cleveland 4 2 behind Moose Haas eight hits allowed. Bando has 23 RBI this season and four game winning hits, saying age matters less than performance and legs. The Brewers built a 2 0 lead with Yount scoring on Cooper and Thomas earlier. The Indians tied twice on Hassey Bannister and Charbonneau before Bando fumbled and muted the rally.
