A potential home run by Ty France hit a roof cable and was caught for an out in the ninth inning as the Brewers beat the Padres 3-2 in their playoff series opener.
The Milwaukee Brewers won 3-2 over the San Diego Padres in their playoff series opener on Saturday. The outcome turned on a ninth-inning play with one out and a runner on first: Ty France's drive to left field off Brewers closer Trevor Megill struck a roof cable, preventing what might otherwise have been a home run. The ball remained in play and was caught by Jackson Chourio for the second out.
The Brewers' manager Pat Murphy credited the team's late broadcaster Bob Uecker with the unlikely boost that helped preserve the one-run lead. The incident decided the outcome of the first game of the National League Division Series.
