Spoiler bid spoiled by pinch-hit homer in 11th inning
So much for their first real chance at playing spoiler to someone's season.Wednesday's Game:
The Milwaukee Brewers walked into Coors Field saying all the politically correct things about wanting to play hard and not concerning themselves with what other teams might be playing for.
But still, it's nice to have a purpose, some sort of meaning late in the baseball season after your team has long been out of the postseason picture.
With a shot to matter in the National League wild-card race, the Brewers started strong, faded, came back but eventually squandered the opportunity in a 7-5 loss in 11 innings Tuesday night to the Colorado Rockies, who extended their wild-card lead over the Atlanta Braves to three games.
For the Brewers, it was their 80th defeat of the season, one in which they'll now be pleased to modestly finish .500 to extend their streak to three consecutive seasons at that mark or better.
