DENVER -- Late-game heroics from Jesus Aguilar saved the Brewers from falling too far behind in the NL Central race Saturday.
Pinch-hitting in the pitcher's spot in the top of the ninth, Aguilar crushed a two-out, full-count breaking ball from Rockies closer Greg Holland to straightaway center for a homer, lifting the Brewers to a 6-3 win. The victory helped the Brewers stay two games behind the first-place Cubs while also leapfrogging the Cardinals into second place.
The Rockies, meanwhile, stayed a game in front of the D-backs for the top Wild Card spot in the NL after Arizona fell to the Twins.
