Johnson City Cardinals hurler Hector Alberro had a brief night this game in early July 1990, but he still got the win, The Kingsport Times-News wrote.
Alberro threw five pitches for two outs in relief as Johnson City took the lead and the 3-1 win, The Times-News wrote.
For Alberro, whatever celebrations there were that night would be brief. He soon had to leave a game with a shoulder injury, an injury that appeared to end his career after two seasons.
Alberro's career began in 1987, signed by the Brewers as a free agent out of his native Puerto Rico.
With the Brewers, Alberro started as an infielder, at rookie Helena and single-A Beloit. He saw 19 games at Helena and hit .243, and 75 games at Beloit, where he hit .189.
He had an RBI groundout for Beloit in an April game, then an RBI double in a June game there. At Helena in July, he singled, stole second and scored in one game, where he went 3 for 5.
But that season proved his only campaign with the Brewers. He then isn't credited with playing in 1988 or 1989. Then, for 1990, he signed with the Cardinals as a previously released free agent.
Alberro also returned as a pitcher. He ended up getting into five games in relief. He went 5.1 innings and gave up three earned. In what appeared to be his final game, he was forced to leave with a shoulder injury. That season proved his last as a pro.
