The Milwaukee Brewers (67-51) won an important game vs. the Washington Nationals (44-77) on Sunday to improve and remain ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card race. The winning homerun was hit by Gabe Kapler, who prior to the HR was 0-6 with two strikeouts. This was Kapler’s first career walk off homerun, and it gave Milwaukee its fifth straight win. The homerun was hit off of Washington reliever Luis Ayala, who is not having a good season to put it mildly. He is 1-8 with a 6.04 ERA and 53.2 innings pitched. Kapler, who was starting for the injured Ryan Braun, hit the ball off of the foul pole to give his team the 5-4 win in 13 innings. “At first I thought it was going to stay fair for sure, then I saw it had kind of had a little lean to it,” Kapler said. “I wasn’t positive whether it would stay fair. I’m glad it did.”

Guillermo Mota (3-5) was given the win, with Luis Ayala (1-8) taking the loss.
