The game started as a pitchers duel with nobody scoring until the bottom of the seventh

a two run home run by William Contreras gave the Brewers a two one lead.

The red scored single runs in the bottom of the ninth and the bottom of the tenth for

the walkoff win pitching was certainly getting thin Sunday says manager Pat Murphy.

You know, we put Grand Anderson in a spot that he hasn't been in a lot and quite frankly

to buy us hasn't been in that situation a lot, but we were depleted, totally depleted

and we needed to do what he did and you know, hindsight's twenty twenty, but as thin as

we were to make that game close and for guys to fight back, I'm really proud of him.

Brewers will play two games today in Chicago, won this afternoon with the first pitch time

of one twenty and another tonight with a first pitch time just after seven.

They're going into the cup game again, a little bit thin at pitching.

We've been huddling up all day and just now on the pitching situation, you know, we're

vulnerable with all going down, it's made it pretty, pretty darn complicated.

So we're trying to do the best we can to stay afloat with the injuries and with the

amount of games we have and try to maintain guys health, you know, we're not in desperate

times.

I thought our guys for the duration of the game they battled and I never thought it was

like a lack of effort in any phase of ball.

Our guys were competing and that's what you really ultimately want to see.

Now there's a lot of things that mentally we got to do a lot better and some of the communication

things that we got to clean up but I loved how our guys competed.
