Milwaukee BrewersvsColorado Rockies
MIL 9/COL 7
Things to say
Brewers beat the Rockies 9-7 in 10 innings at Coors Field.
01
opener
Brewers took it 9-7 in extras out in Denver. Classic Coors Field slugfest, ball was flying. Milwaukee finally broke it open in the tenth.
02
key player
Milwaukee's heart of the order kept grinding at-bats - that's what wins you a getaway-day game like this.
03
hot take
Rockies bullpen is cooked. You can't keep blowing leads at home and expect to claw back to .500.
04
deep cut
Colorado's manager went to the pen too early in the seventh and you could see it coming back to bite him by the ninth.
05
exit
Anyway, Brewers are 38-23 now - they're the real deal in the NL Central this year. Curious what they do next series.
The recap
Brewers stole one in Denver, taking it 9-7 in extras after the Rockies clawed back to force the tenth. Milwaukee's bats did just enough at Coors, which is saying something on a night where the ball was clearly carrying.
No standout hero in the box score we got, but the bullpen held when it counted in the tenth to lock it down. Colorado drops to 24-40 while the Brewers keep humming along at 38-23.
