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.

The NL Central, hell, maybe even the whole league should be on the lookout for the Brewers. They just completed a 4 game series sweep of the Cardinals and are 7-0 on their current road trip, and are on an eight game winning streak. Ryan Braun was the catalyst of the offense, going 14-29 during the road trip, including a two run HR in the top of the ninth in St. Louis on Thursday that kept them within a game of the Cubs atop the NL Central standings. The HR from Braun came off of Cards closer Ryan Franklin, who was charged with the loss. In Braun’s own words: “To me, a game-winning homer is the best feeling in the world. There’s nothing better.”

The Brewers are also climbing up the team total HR chart, having hit one homerun in each of their last twenty games, a franchise record. Ben Sheets threw seven strong innings, but left the game when they were down 3-2 and was given a no decision. Eric Gagne pitched in the eighth to earn the win, and Solomon Torres was given the save.
