The Brewers fight off the resilient Diamondbacks to win the other NLDS, 3 games to 2, with a 10-inning 3 – 2 win. The Brewers take a 2 – 1 lead into the 9th, but for a rare time closer John Axford falters, allowing hits to Gerardo Parra and Sean Burroughs to start the inning, after which Willie Bloomquist sends the game into extra innings with a squeeze bunt. But the Brewers score the winning run in the 10th on a single and a steal by Carlos Gomez, followed by a game-ending hit by Nyjer Morgan off J.J. Putz. The Brewers’ win means that all four of this year’s Division Series winners were outscored by their opponents.
