Milwaukee Brewers 10/1/2021
3 hours to opening pitch of the NLDS and Brewers medical team have announced a shin contusion during warmups for today's starting pitcher Corbin Burnes so with very little notice rookie Masyn Winn will get the start. In 68 games of relief and 4 starts he has an incredible 19-5 record with 4.03 era.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Game 1
The Great American Ballpark was the host for game 1 of the NLDS and what a game it was.
Everything you could ask for in a playoff game. Cincinnati got it started on the 2nd pitch of the ball game with a base hit by Robert Moseley who then reached 2nd on a wild pitch by the rookie. Votto got Moseley to 3rd with a groundouts to 1st and Winker hit a sac fly to open the score sheet. It wasnt until the 3rd inning and stop me if you've heard this before but Eric Sogard with a double to open the inning and then Masyn Winn helped his own cause with a bunt to move Sogard to 3rd and was also safe at 1st. With runners on the corners Lorenzo Cain hit into the double play but scored Sogard to tie the game. The Reds answered in the 4th scoring Nick Senzel with a double by Barnhart and a 1 run HR by Eugenio Suarez taking a 3-1 lead. Milwaukee woke up in the 5th though with a HR by Avisail Garcia and a HR in the 6th by Semien. Another run in the 7th and a HR in the 9th by Narvaez was the perfect 2 run cushion for Josh Hader and he closed the game with 8 pitches striking out 2 and a pop fly to LF to end the game. Milwaukee take a 1 game to 0 lead to open the series and will feel very excited that given the rookie pitcher on the mound with little heads up, and giving up a few runs but still finding a way to get the win over the number 1 seed and division foe as a huge start to the series and like their chances to remain victorious moving on. Cincinnati will hope for better luck Saturday night with Trevor Bauer on the mound against Adrian Houser.
Game 2 NLDS Brewers lead Reds 1-0
Another exciting, back and forth game with Cincinnati taking game 2 with 4 HR's. Milwaukee opened the scoring with a Marcus Semien homerun in the 1st but Moseley answered back with his 2nd of the series. Nick Senzel then got his HR in the 2nd inning to put Cincinnati ahead. Mike Moustakas decided to get in in the action in the 4th with his own 400 ft bomb to straight away center making the game 3-1. Surprisingly Adrian Houser remained in the game for the 5th and quickly regretted it. He gave up 3 more runs with back to back home runs by Winker and Suarez after The Brewers had just made things interesting again, taking a 4-3 lead in the top of the 5th with 2 HR's of their own by Narvaez and Sogard.
After 5 though, it was 6-4 in favor of The Reds and that's all she wrote as it ended 6-4 although in the 7th after 2 pinch hitters, Milwaukee had runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out but couldn't do anything further with Cain popping out to center and a strikeout to end the inning.
Something of note is Yelich had another terrible game with 2 strikeouts and is 0/7 in this series. The Brewers will hope he swings his way out of it as they will need him if they want to make a serious run at this series. They have Sunday off to head back home to Milwaukee for game 3 Monday at 1:05 to see who takes a 2 games to 1 lead in this series.
