WLUK – The Milwaukee Brewers were robbed of a touch of anticipation going into Saturday’s evening contest versus the St. Louis Cardinals, thanks to the New York Mets. A Mets afternoon loss meant Milwaukee did not need to win their game to clinch a playoff berth. Rather, a win would have just been icing on the cake. Which it was. <\/p>\n
Despite being the first team to 90 wins and the first team to clinch a playoff spot the Brewers have yet to clinch the National League Central title. In order to do that they need to keep winning. After what looked like a mark in the “loss” column halfway through Saturday’s game Milwaukee did what Milwaukee does best: comeback.<\/p>\n
The Brewers pulled out an extra-inning, walk off victory in 10 innings at American Family Field. The win not only gave the Brewers a 2-0 series lead over St. Louis it also grew their division lead over the Cubs to 6.5 games.<\/p>\n
Following the victory Brewers’ Manager Pat Murphy, hoping for a second-straight NL Manager of the Year title, and star Christian Yelich, hoping for another 100 RBI\/30 HR season, addressed the team in the locker room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WLUK – The Milwaukee Brewers were robbed of a touch of anticipation going into Saturday’s evening contest versus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[9893,58858,94930,84705,363,24801,14763,99,6310,95492],"class_list":["post-156384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-brewers","tag-cardinals","tag-clinch","tag-comeback","tag-mlb","tag-murphy","tag-playoff","tag-sports","tag-victory","tag-yelich"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
