How it happened
Milwaukee scored first in the third. Fernando Tatis Jr. answered immediately with a 429-foot homer off Robert Gasser that tied it 1–1 in the bottom of the inning.
Mitchell broke the tie in the fifth. He tripled and scored when Jackson Chourio singled him home for a 2–1 lead. In the sixth, Jake Bauers singled, Cooper Pratt hit a ground-rule double and Sal Frelick's sacrifice fly made it 3–1. Bauers reached base four times, with a single and three walks.
Gasser went four innings and allowed only the Tatis homer. Aaron Ashby then threw three scoreless innings, and Abner Uribe added another.
The eighth inning decided the series. Brice Turang made an acrobatic catch on Ty France's popup in foul ground. Then Machado drove a ball 406 feet to the wall in right-center. Mitchell, positioned there by the Brewers' scouting report, reached up and pulled it back to keep the lead at two.
Trevor Megill retired the side in the ninth to send Milwaukee back to the NLCS.
Turning point
In the eighth, Garrett Mitchell reached over the wall to rob Manny Machado of a game-tying home run.
