Going into the bottom of the ninth up 4-1, the Padres had a 96.5% win probability according to ESPN.com. The Brewers had the bottom of the lineup due up to face Taylor Rogers, whose 17 saves are second only to Josh Hader for best in the league. That layed the foundation for a wild final half-inning that included a hit by Keston Hiura, two hits by pitches, and a bases-clearing triple by Jace Peterson. Andrew McCutchen capped off the night by ending an 0-32 slump with a walk-off single, giving the Brewers a 5-4 victory.
The Brewers' bats struggled to get going in the first eight innings of Thursday’s contest.
