Game story

Then, with one sweet swing that kept a playoff berth within the grasp of his team, Braun momentarily erased the mental and physical suffering he had experienced.

“I didn’t feel it at all,” he said.

That’s what a walk-off grand slam will do for you and your team. Braun’s bases-loaded shot with two down in the bottom of the 10th off reliever Jesse Chavez gave the Brewers an electrifying 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh before a crowd of 40,102 at Miller Park.

Box score

Rattler tie-in: Mitch Stetter was the winning pitcher for the Brewers last night as he got the final out in the top of the tenth.

Stetter's final game in the Midwest League was July 26, 2004 at Fox Cities Stadium. He made the start and went six innings, allowed two runs on five hits, walked two, and struck out four. Stetter gave up a two-run homer to Wladimir Balentien in the fifth inning.

Stetter got a no decision in the game, a 3-2 Rattler victory. Wisconsin won the game on a walk-off single by Chris Colton in the bottom of the ninth. Colton's single was off Tim Dillard.
