What happened: As the first batter of the seventh frame in a deadlocked postseason contest, Brice Turang reached second base with nobody out. The extra-base hit immediately puts pressure on the opposing bullpen while Milwaukee pursues its first championship after a 44-year wait.

Why it matters: Putting the leadoff runner into scoring position in the late innings of a tied October game shifts the tactical leverage to the offense, which can manufacture a go-ahead run without needing another base hit. For the second baseman who leads his position with 43 defensive runs saved since 2024, the late-inning spark extends his postseason impact to both sides of the ball.

What to watch: Milwaukee's lineup now has three outs to bring Turang across home plate and break the tie before the eighth inning.
