2020-09-11: Cubs (Lester) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 1-0 -- Woodruff w/ 7.0 IP, 12 SO, 1 H, 0 BB; Braun walk-off sac fly in 9th]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wooo!!!!!! Huge win!!!!

[LouisEly]

Nottingham not being very socially distant or masking...

[adambr2]

Lol, I love how Hayward was just like, "Nah."

[TURBO]

A win is a win!

[markedman5]

Big Win!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Classic September Brewers-Cubs game. Excellent win.

[pacopete4]

Ryan Braun Forever!!!

[Bulldogboy]

I would have taken my chances with Arcia and Nerd

[Lostpawn]

Nice one. Great job by the pitching staff. One game closer.

[mtsportsfan]

Nice win, way to go Braun.

[CheezWizHed]

Jeffress in coming in. Time for our embedded spy to pay back.

 

Excellent! He even gives us the win in such a fashion to not make it obvious. He can do it a few more times before the Cubs figure it out.

[bigredrobbo]

Come home, agent Jeffress - mission accomplished!

[brewerfan82]

Cards lose as well, so only a game back there now too!

[LouisEly]

Did that game finish in less than three hours? When's the last time a Brewers-Cubs game did that?

[Bulldogboy]

Good point by Braun. Woodruff and Burnes might be scary in a best two out of three.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Terrific outing from Woody tonight too. Really good to see that tonight after he's struggled to get past the 5th inning the last few starts. He was dominant tonight.

[Lostpawn]

The Brewers have now won their last 2 games by a combined score of 20-0!

[Eye Black]

Cards lose as well, so only a game back there now too!

Sort of speaks to how fluid this situation is when you can go from 4 games under .500 to just one game out of a top 6 playoff spot in a couple of days.

[MrTPlush]

The reason the Brewers won is simple. We were willing to pitch our elite arms in a tie game and the Cubs did not. We used our closer in the 9th, Cubs didn’t, and it backfired on them. Maybe it doesn’t end any different if they start the 9th with Jeffress, but clearly not doing so ended badly.

[CheezWizHed]

Fly the W!

I was initially hoping the Brewers could take 2 of 3 this weekend. Now splitting the next two sounds a lot more realistic. With all these games left against divisional opponents, this team 100% controls it's own destiny.

[edfunderburk]

When is the last time Milwaukee had back-to-back shutouts ... both dominant pitching performances

[yourout]

19 runs in the last game means they're going to struggle to score at all tonight

 

bumping this for accuracy.

 

I was partially kidding but it's not really a surprise.

That said there's no such thing as a bad win against the Cubs.

[edfunderburk]

Woodruff and Burnes might be scary in a best two out of three.

Yes ... If we can hit & score a few runs

[brewmann04]

I Really hope Woody and Corbin continue on their upward move and hopefully one of the other 3 can step up. But we need Yelich to step up and carry this team but the one guy i think will be key is Braunie.
