MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – One of the Brewers best players of the 2017 campaign played the role of hero Saturday.
Travis Shaw’s walk-off, two-run home run in the 10th inning gave Milwaukee a 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.
That wasn’t the only timely offense the Crew received.
One inning earlier, Orlando Arcia hit a solo blast to tie the game 2-2.
Jeremy Jeffress, who gave up one run in his lone inning of work, improved to 4-0 with the win.
The Cubs’ Wade Davis, who surrendered three runs in 1 1/3 innings, dropped to 4-2 with the loss.
The Brewers got a strong start from Brent Suter, who gave up just one run in 5 1/3 frames.
Milwaukee now trails the first place Cubs by 4 1/2 games in the National League Central. However, they sit just one game back of the Colorado Rockies for the NL’s second wild card spot.
The Crew (82-73) has seven games remaining, while the Cubs (86-68) have eight and the Rockies (83-72) have seven.
The Brewers are looking for a split of the four game series Sunday when they send Chase Anderson (11-3, 2.74 ERA) to the mound to face Jose Quintana (6-3, 3.95 ERA).
First pitch is slated for 1:10 pm.
