The Milwaukee Brewers are still holding it down as the best team in baseball right now, hitting 90 wins first this season. They pulled off a crazy 4-3 walkoff win against the Cubs on Tuesday night. It wasn't a smooth ride though. Their offense was a bit shaky, and the pitching gave up a couple of runs in the ninth inning. With then Jackson Churrio stepped up with a two run homer to tie things up. In the tenth, DL Hall shut it down and Garrett Mitchell even threw out a runner trying to stretch a hit. It set the stage for Rookie to be the hero. That Rookie was Luis Lara. He's only been in the majors for about two months, and after struggling at the play all game, he came through in the clutch. The manager, Pat Murphy, gave him a quick pep talk before his at bat, just letting him know he had confidence in him. Lara then stepped up and laced the first pitch he saw into left field for the game winning hit. He said Murphy just asked if he was ready, and he was.

So, the Brewers are now nine games ahead of the Cubs in their division and have already won the season series. They're looking to sweep the series on Wednesday and extend that lead even further. It's been a solid year for them, even with some of those nail-biting finishes.
