MILWAUKEE (AP) —Central.The Milwaukee Brewers moved into a tie for first place with the Chicago Cubs with one game remaining Fred Lynn Jersey , getting two homers from Triple Crown candidate Christian Yelich to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-5 on Saturday night.Yelich turned on an 0-1 pitch from left-hander Daniel Stumpf (1-5) and lined it into the second deck in right to break a 5-all tie in the seventh inning. The left-handed slugger also hit a two-run homer in the third inning of the Brewers’ sixth straight win.Seemed like a good time for the typically even-keeled Yelich to show some emotion in a curtain call.“First one ever, so. I don’t really know what to do,” Yelich said.The raucous fans at Miller Park chanted “MVP! MVP!” after Yelich’s go-ahead shot in the seventh. He obliged with a brief appearance, lifting his helmet in the air about halfway up the dugout steps.“Everyone was yelling at me to get up there, so I went up there really quick and went right back down,” he said.The Brewers (94-67) were already assured of making their first playoff appearance since 2011, the last time they won the NL Central. They sure would like to get into the postseason again as a division winner, and Chicago opened the door by losing 2-1 to St. Louis earlier Saturday.“Yeah I’m sure it will be pretty crazy,” Yeich said about what to expect on Sunday at Miller Park. “You play all those games and it still comes down to 162.”If the Brewers and Cubs are still tied after Sunday, the teams will face each other on Monday in Chicago for the title.The NL MVP race, on the other hand, may be over after Yelich’s September to remember.He extended his hitting streak to 10 games, going 2 for 3 and driving in three.The NL batting leader is also challenging for a Triple Crown , tied with St. Louis’ Matt Carpenter for the home run lead at 36. With 109 RBIs, Yelich is two behind the Cubs’ Javier Baez.“We’re sitting here every night and I say it’s reached a new level and then it reaches a new level. It’s just special, man Wade Boggs Jersey ,” manager Craig Counsell said.Joakim Soria (3-1) got the win with a scoreless seventh. Jeremy Jeffress picked up his 15th save, striking out the side in the ninth.The bullpen held the Tigers scoreless over the final three innings after a few shaky moments in the middle of the game.Seventh-place hitter Dawel Lugo lined a triple into the right-field corner to lead off the sixth. Pete Kozma, a .209 hitter, then drove in Lugo with a sacrifice fly to left to tie the game at 5.But the Brewers bounced back behind Yelich again.“I just went with what was feeling good tonight and I got ahead and I ended up spinning one up there. That one didn’t go in my favor,” Stumpf said.CALL IT A COMEBACKYelich also helped spark a comeback from a 3-0 hole in the third. He homered into the Brewers’ bullpen in left after leadoff hitter Lorenzo Cain hit an infield single to draw within 3-2. The Brewers strung together four straight hits in a three-run fourth, capped by Kratz’s two-run single.Niko Goodrum had an RBI single in the first and a two-run triple down the right-field line in third to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.Starter Daniel Norris retired eight of the first nine batters before running into trouble after giving up Cain’s infield single with two outs in the third.Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said the close games in an electric atmosphere will help his young team in the future.“You need to see what it’s like. It makes you hungry to get back,” he said.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: After sitting out Friday, OF Christin Stewart was shut down for the final two games of the weekend with an abdominal strain.UP NEXTTigers: Rookie Spencer Turnbull (0-1) takes the mound for the season finale. The right-hander recorded his first quality start in the majors on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits in six innings against Minnesota.Brewers: Counsell named LHP Gio Gonzalez (9-11) the starter for the finale. Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four starts since being acquired in a trade with the Washington Nationals.“For me, I try to take it as just another day, give them whatever they need,” Gonzalez said, “and after that, rely on the team.” A closer look at the recent Marlins vs. Braves series at SunTrust Park."This is a guest blog by Alex Peters of Miami Sports Wave, your home for all things Miami sports (including the Marlins, of course).

The Marlins are just 3-7 through the first 10 games of the 2019 season. I told you guys a couple of weeks ago that I was going to try and bring you as much Marlins content as possible. With nothing new happening during Monday’s off day http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , I figured I would talk about three takeaways from this past weekend. The Marlins played the Atlanta Braves at SunTrust Park. Unfortunately, they lost two out of the three games.OffenseThe first thing that jumps out when you watch this team play is the offense...or should I say the lack of offense. The Marlins scored just seven total runs in the three-game series against the Braves. To put that into comparison, the Philadelphia Phillies are averaging 6.33 runs per game this season.This lack of run production shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone. If you look at the way that the roster is constructed, you can see why this team isn’t scoring a lot of runs. There are a lot, and I mean A LOT of young guys on this roster. Before you say anything, yes, Curtis Granderson, Neil Walker, and Starling Castro are still on the roster. However, Granderson and Walker are not the same players that they were before joining this ball club. When you take those three guys out, the rest of the Marlins roster lacks significant experience at the big league level.Jorge AlfaroBrett Davis-USA TODAY SportsAlfaro is the catcher who the Marlins received in the J.T. Realmuto trade. Although it is a small sample size, Alfaro is slashing .280/.333/.640 which equates to a .973 OPS. That .973 OPS is far above the league average. The reason why he is my second takeaway is that he had his first multi-home run game this weekend. This happened on Saturday, and his second home run of the game was of the go-ahead variety.Last season, Alfaro was the primary catcher for the Phillies. As I go to school in Pennsylvania, I was able to watch him play a lot last season. Alfaro’s defense is what got him to the major leagues. He has an absolute cannon behind the plate. For example, he has the three fastest throws to second base (velocity-wise). While his defense plays Pedro Martinez Jersey , his bat has often come up lackluster. My unpaid analysis of him is that sometimes he swings too hard. He has enough strength that when he makes contact, the ball jumps off his bat. Hopefully, Alfaro can stay hot.Sandy AlcantaraPersonally, I’ve been high on this guy since the end of last season. I’ve talked about him at least three separate times already this season. All three of those times were in a positive fashion. However, that is not the case this time. Alcantara has shown that he can be wild. He has shown this is his very small major league career. In his first start of 2019, he threw eight shutout innings struck out eight and walked none. However, in his last start, he walked five batters in just four innings. The odd part is that he did not strike anyone out in this game. I think Alcantara is the ace of the Marlins staff. His stuff certainly backs that up. However, his control is a big question mark. If he is unable to find his control, he may never reach his full potential. Even worse, he may be sent to the bullpen. I may be overreacting to one start, but the Marlins are rebuilding. During the first years of a rebuild, no one is safe and every play matters. I hope for Alcantara’s sake, he can figure it out before it’s too late.Alex Peters has been a baseball fanatic since as long as he can remember. He plays baseball for Penn State York.
