It started
with a bounce.
In Game 1, Ty France’s ninth-inning fly ball hit a roof cable and landed in Jackson Chourio’s glove. Four nights later, Garrett Mitchell reached the wall in San Diego and took a tying home run away from Manny Machado.
Milwaukee moved on. October had its first unlikely frames.

Jake Bauers was named NLCS MVP. Milwaukee had its first National League pennant.
