Milwaukee BrewersvsArizona Diamondbacks
MIL 7/ARI 4
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Diamondbacks 7-4 in 11 innings at Chase Field.
01
opener
Brewers took it 7-4 out in Arizona. Went to the eleventh, though. Chase Field, extras, on a getaway day, so nobody was in a hurry.
02
key player
Milwaukee's pen was the real story. They kept it knotted deep into extras and just outlasted Arizona's arms.
03
hot take
Honestly the D-backs should've had this in nine. You leave a team like Milwaukee hanging around, they'll make you pay.
04
deep cut
Watch the records too. Brewers are 54-32, Arizona's under .500 at 43-44. That's not a fluke, that's the better club.
05
exit
Anyway, Milwaukee's rolling. Curious if they can keep it up the rest of this series.
The recap
Free baseball at Chase Field, and Milwaukee cashed in. Knotted up through nine, the Brewers finally cracked it open in the eleventh, hanging a crooked number to turn a nail-biter into a 7-4 final.
Arizona's bullpen couldn't hold the rope once the game got into extras, and the Brew Crew's bats came alive at exactly the right time. That's a division leader doing division-leader things on a getaway day.
