Brewers 8, Cardinals 4. Win No. 101 guarantees the Brewers will finish with sole possession of the best record in baseball for the second straight season.
Robert Gasser came on in emergency relief of Dustin May on Aug. 26 and took off. From that day through the end of his regular season, including six innings of one-run ball tonight: 1.67 ERA in 32 1/3 innings, 0.96 WHIP, .165 opponents average.
William Contreras' pregame comments about getting pulled last night were far less engaging than his game so far tonight: Four successful ABS challenges, two hard contacts and a headfirst dive. More on an interesting 24 hours for the Brewers' star catcher: www.mlb.com/brewers/news...
