Buster Posey slams the Brewers in extras

After the All-Star break, Hader could go two innings if he needed to. After his breakout 2018, Hader has been even better this year. He’s striking out over half of the batters he faces and he’s walking fewer batters than before.
The only blemish you can find on his season is that he’s given up slightly more home runs this year, but that’s not something the Brewers needed to worry about against the Giants. San Francisco had already used up their daily allowance with the two they hit earlier.
