Brewers celebrate again after capturing NLDS against the Rockies

By

The Brewers celebrate their sweep of the Rockies in the NLDS.

The Milwaukee Brewers ran their win streak to 11 games by knocking off the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday, sweeping the best-of-five National League Divisional Series.

Wade Miley and five relievers blanked the Rockies while Jesus Aguilar, Orlando Arcia and Keon Broxton all homered to power the Brewers 12-hit attack.

The Brewers advanced to the NLCS for the first time since 2011.  It starts on Friday at Miller Park against the winner of the other NLDS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.

Brewer pitchers held the Rockies to just two runs in the three games.

After taking a 2-0 lead early, the Brewers scored twice in the sixth on a balk and a wild pitch to jump out in front 4-0.

Orlando Arcia started the 9th with a home run to left off of Rockies closer Wade Davis.  Keon Broxton followed with a home run to right.

Josh Hader got the final two outs to close it out for the Brewers.

Mike Moustakas singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Milwaukee Brewers a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in the NLDS opener at Miller Park.

Christian Yelich clubbed a two-run homer in the third to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead, while the Brewers bullpen tossed eight scoreless innings while allowing just one base hit.

Then came the 9th inning and Jeremy Jeffress couldn’t hold the lead, surrendering two runs to tie the game.  Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado drove in runs in the 9th for the Rockies.

Moustakas delivered the walk-off game winner off of Colorado’s Adam Ottavino.

Brandon Woodruff got the start for the Brewers and cruised through three innings before giving way to Corbin Burnes.  Burnes didn’t disappoint, striking out three over two innings.

Corey Knebel followed for 1 2/3 innings and Josh Hader worked 1 1/3 before handing the ball to Jeffress for the 9th.

The Brewers will hand the ball to Jhoulys Chacin in game two of the series this afternoon (3:15 p.m.) in game two of the series.

Former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy was traded for the second time in the last year on Sunday.

After the Brewers dealt Lucroy to the Rangers last season, Texas turned around and shipped him to the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, for a “player to be named later.”

Lucroy hit .242 with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 77 games with the Rangers this season.

Lucroy was a two-time all-star during his stay in Milwaukee with the Brewers.

Trade Deadline Today

Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is this afternoon.  So far, the Brewers have not pulled the trigger on any deals.  According to reports, a discussion with the Oakland A’s about acquiring Sonny Gray didn’t get anywhere when the A’s were insistent about outfielder Lewis Brinson being a part of any potential deal.
