What happened: Hamilton lost his footing as he rounded second base and was thrown out at third trying to stretch the hit into a triple.

Why it matters: Had he held at second, the Brewers would have kept a runner in scoring position in a postseason game. Instead the hit ended as an out on the bases from the same Hamilton who homered to stretch a lead to 6-4 earlier this October.

What to watch: His next extra-base hit will show whether the Brewers keep sending runners for the extra bag.
