Mike Moustaksas scored MVP front-runner Christian Yelich with a two-out single in the 10th inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers bounced back to beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 to open their NL Division Series on Thursday.
After giving up two runs in the ninth that made it 2-all, the Brewers regrouped and soon celebrated. Making their first postseason appearance since 2011, they won their ninth straight game overall.
Yelich hit a two-run homer in the third inning, then opened the 10th with a walk against Adam Ottavino. Yelich advanced to second on a wild pitch and came home on Moustakas’ line drive to right field.
The Brewers allowed just one hit over eight innings in a dominant bullpen game and led 2-0 before Jeremy Jeffress gave up three straight singles to open the ninth. Charlie Blackmon grounded an RBI single shortly after his ground-rule double was overruled on replay review, and Nolan Arenado added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to tie it.
Game 2 is another afternoon affair, with Jhoulys Chacin set to face his former club beginning at 3:15 p.m. CT. He worked 5 2/3 high-pressure innings against the Cubs in Monday’s NL Central tiebreaker, so it’s unclear how many pitches the Brewers have in mind for him on three days’ rest. Left-hander Tyler Anderson starts for Colorado.
In the other NLDS game from Thursday, the Dodgers beat the Braves 6-0 in Atlanta. The two teams meet again tonight.
The ALDS begins this afternoon with Cleveland at Houston. The other ALDS game tonight is the Yankees at Boston.
The Packers continue to get ready for the Lions Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Davante Adams, Geroniom Allison, Randall Cobb J and Jermaine Whitehead did not participate in Thursday’s practice.
Jaire Alexander, Kentrell Brice, Jimmy Graham, Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick saw limited partticipation. Aaron Rodgers, Bryan Bulaga and Kevin King had full participation.
