Why it's trending
That ending. With the bases loaded in the ninth, the Brewers thought they'd turned a game-ending double play and poured out of the dugout. Replay said no: shortstop Cooper Pratt's foot was just off the bag, so a run scored and the game kept going. Closer Trevor Megill reset and struck out Jonny DeLuca with two runners in scoring position, AP reports. Jacob Misiorowski got the win, and Christian Yelich's first-inning triple set the tone.
