Last night, the Brewers bullpen shut the Cardinals out over the last six innings, helping the team erase a 3-0 deficit to win in extra innings 5-3.

There’s been plenty of eye-opening performances, but none bigger than Francisco Rodriguez.  He has set a new franchise record for saves (12) in March/April, breaking the mark held by Francisco Cordero (10 in 2007).  Number 12 came in the 12th inning last night.
