The D-backs stunned ace Corbin Burnes and the Brewers by swatting three homers to overcome a three-run deficit. Here are our takeaways from their wild-card win.
leaping catch with the bases loaded in the fifth inning will be seared into the minds of Diamondbacks fans for a long time. Turning 38 on Saturday, and in his 16th season in the big leagues, Longoria went airborne on aline drive off third base. He snagged the liner, then fired to second base to turn an inning-ending double play. The clutch catch kept the D-backs up, 4-3, instead of allowing the Brewers to break the game open.
In the end, the D-backs finally broke their postseason drought with a critical come-from-behind victory. Arizona on Tuesday improved to 1-14 in postseason history when trailing by three or more runs. The squad is now set up nicely to advance to the NLDS.Though Burnes did struggle with the long ball this year, he only coughed up three-plus home runs in two of his regular-season starts. So, the three-homer barrage from his second time through the order was startling.
The belief was Milwaukee needed to give Burnes just a little bit of run support to comfortably take Game 1, given how dominant its pitching staff is all the way from Burnes to Williams. The Brewers did just that as early as the first inning, tacking on one run against Pfaadt before Taylor homered in the second to make it 3-0. But Burnes allowed the D-backs to come back in the third as will do his best to keep Milwaukee's season alive and push the series to a winner-takes-all Game 3.
