Turang's Go-Ahead Homer Lifts Brewers over Cardinals 3-2 for 102nd Win
On Saturday at American Family Field, the Milwaukee Brewers secured their 102nd victory by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2, clinching a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Brice Turang flipped the lead in the fifth inning with his 21st home run, a 421-foot shot off Cardinals starter Quinn Mathews that erased an early 2-0 deficit.
Brewers starter Dustin May allowed two runs over three innings before exiting after 58 pitches, while the bullpen combined for six hitless innings to preserve the victory.
Before the game, the Brewers named Christian Yelich the franchise's first captain during a team meeting; he entered as a pinch-hitter and went 0 for 2.
