Milwaukee takes the opening game of the NLCS with a 9 – 6 win over St. Louis. The Brewers trail, 5 – 2, in the 5th when they explode for 6 runs. Ryan Braun, who had homered earlier, drives in two runs, then Prince Fielder and Yuniesky Betancourt homer and the Brew Crew is on its way. Zack Greinke is the winner over Jaime Garcia, although neither pitches particularly well.
