Game Forty Five: Brewers 7, Rockies 6

Box Score 

With one swing of the bat Prince Fielder turned an agonizing defeat into a thrilling victory. There's nothing quite like a walk-off home run that occurs when the home team is trailing. It's even better when, as was the case tonight, when the homer is the result of the ball being hit really, really hard.

Two quick thoughts:

-The Brewers scored seven runs in Los Angeles and San Diego. They scored seven runs tonight. I have never seen such a discrepancy of performance between the home and road. This is too extreme to last, but for the time being it's pretty bizarre.

-This season Zack Greinke has pitched 21 innings, has 29 strikeouts, only 2 walks, a decent 1.24 WHIP, and and ERA of 6.43. One of those things is not like the other. All signs point to him being dominant, and I think that's what we'll be seeing from him very soon.
