The only players with at least 30 strikeouts and 1 save in their first 7 playoff games:
Nolan Ryan
MICHAEL KING ‼️
San Diego's ace SHOWED UP with their backs against the wall!
In all best-of-five postseason series, teams to lose the first two games before winning Game 3 to avoid elimination have won again to force a Game 5 in 18 of 39 instances (46%)
They have come all the way back to win the series 10 of 39 times (26%)
The ridiculous bad break aside, Padres lost this game because of one bad pitch each by Ray/Morejon & lack of clutch hitting from their four biggest run producers.
(Brewers crushed those mistakes & made good pitches in key moments but no one here wants to hear about that side.)
Thanks you #padres that was a magical wild card. G1: dominant offense and pitching sandwich by Wil and Joe. G2: Sheets and Salas and 100 mph stuff. And Petco was rocking. #lfgsd in Milwaukee!
you’ll never really see a game like that ever again
if you need the explainer
starter almost throws a no-no
sluggers SLUG
sexiest man alive steals home (from first)
hometown hero rises from the dead
jobs not finished but
enjoy this night
😮💨
Joe Musgrove is the first player to appear in sequential postseason games in different seasons with no regular season games in between
