Brewers walk off Rockies 7-6 in rubber match

For the second straight day, the Brewers and Rockies played a back-and-forth affair that went into extra innings. This time, the Brewers came out on top after a self-inflicted wound.

With the winning run on third base with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Andruw Monasterio grounded to shortstop and reached on a throwing error by Ezequiel Tovar to deliver a 7-6 win.

It represented a welcome break for a Brewers team that suffered a gut-punch loss on Tuesday and dealt with tough luck for much of the rubber match.

Starter Adrian Houser retired nine in a row to start the game and appeared to strike out Jurickson Profar for his tenth straight to lead off the fourth inning.
