Bauers & Lara Deliver Extras Classic: Brewers Walk Off Twins in 10th

MILWAUKEE — Forget the layoff. This one had everything: a walk-off single, a Superman impersonation, and a whole lot of stranding. The Brewers outlasted the Twins 4-3 in 10 innings on Sunday, and honestly, the box score doesn't do it justice.

Lara's Leaps Headline a Nail-Biter

Let's start with the defense, because Luis Lara was a one-man highlight reel. With the game on the line in the top of the 10th, Lara scaled the right-field wall and pulled back what looked like a go-ahead extra-base hit off the bat of Kody Clemens. Run saved. Crowd erupted. And if that wasn't enough, he'd already robbed Brooks Lee of an extra-base hit back in the sixth with a ridiculous grab in front of the wall.

Royce Lewis had advanced to third on Clemens' drive, but he was left frozen there as DL Hall struck out Lee to end the threat.

Bauers: Clutch When It Counts

Then came the bottom half. Brice Turang started at second base, and Jake Bauers did exactly what you want from your veteran bat: a one-out single to shallow left off Yoendrys Gómez. Turang slid home, catcher Ryan Jeffers applied the tag, but the call was safe — and replay confirmed it. Series won. Walk-off vibes.

Bauers was already having a day before that, mashing a homer in the fifth. Jackson Chourio also went deep for Milwaukee. On the Twins' side, Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens both took Jacob Misiorowski deep, with Clemens' two-run shot in the sixth tying the game at 3 after Josh Bell drew the only walk the young righty surrendered all day.

Arms, Drama, and Missed Chances

Misiorowski didn't get the win, but he pitched like an ace: three runs on four hits over six innings, punching out nine. That's a big-league-leading 204 strikeouts on the season. Meanwhile, Minnesota's Connor Prielipp was no slouch, striking out seven and allowing three runs (five hits, two walks) over five frames.

Both offenses kept leaving fans on edge. The Brewers left runners on second and third in the sixth, then stranded men on base in the seventh and ninth. Minnesota loaded the bases in both the seventh and eighth — and came up empty each time. That came back to haunt them.

What's Next?

The Twins head home to open a series against the Baltimore Orioles, with Dean Kremer getting the ball. The Brewers pack their bags for San Diego, where Logan Henderson faces Casey Mize. If Monday is anything like this one, you're going to want to tune in.
