What a game! After defensive miscues, some bad replay reviews, and four stressful hours of baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers won on a heroic walk-off grand slam by Daniel Vogelbach.

Vogelbach, the first baseman who was a non-tender candidate last offseason, who appeared out of a job in spring training when the Brewers decided to put Keston Hiura at first base, who then suffered a horrible looking hamstring strain, who saw his first base job taken by Rowdy Tellez while he was hurt, came through in the bottom of the 9th inning with the biggest hit of his life.
