Game Fifty Nine: Brewers 6, Marlins 5

Box Score

The Brewers' victory today is something of a miracle. They blew a 5-0 lead and were dead to rights in the bottom of the 9th when the Marlins had the bases loaded with one out. Somehow, Tim Dillard of all people saved the Brewers' bacon.

The situation did not look much more promising in the top of the 11th with nobody on, two out, and Josh Wilson at the plate. Wilson proceeded to justify his being on the Brewers roster with a home run, and John Axford sealed the victory with another one of his saves.

The Brewers have now won 20 of 27 and the only thing going wrong is the continued success of St. Louis. The Brewers and Cardinals play each other 12 more times this season. Those games should be a lot of fun...especially if the Brewers win every one of those games.
