Brice Turang drove in two runs with a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The win marked the 101st victory of the season for the Brewers, coming just one night after the team secured home-field advantage throughout the entire postseason according to reporting from the Associated Press.
Turang Sparks Late Rally in Milwaukee
The decisive eighth-inning rally for Milwaukee began when Jackson Chourio hit a leadoff single against relief pitcher Luis Gastelum, who fell to 5-4 on the year. Following the opening hit, reliever Justin Bruihl entered the game from the bullpen and struck David Hamilton with his very first pitch while Hamilton was setting up to lay down a bunt. Turang then delivered his third hit of the night, a clutch single that broke the tie and drove home two runs. William Contreras added an RBI single later in the frame, and Jake Bauers tacked on another run with a sacrifice fly to break the game open. Abner Uribe earned the victory out of the bullpen, improving to 6-3 after pitching a scoreless eighth inning for the Brewers.
St. Louis Long Ball Output Falls Short
The Cardinals kept pace early through the power of the long ball, receiving home runs from Iván Herrera, Jordan Walker, and Alec Burleson. Herrera provided the lone run off starting pitcher Gasser in the fourth inning by launching a solo home run with one out. Despite the offensive output from the St. Louis hitters, the bullpen was unable to hold the lead down the stretch as Milwaukee capitalized on the late walks and defensive miscues.
