Jonathan Lucroy hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 in opening-day action. It was the Brewers first opening day when since 2008 when they beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in 10 innings.
Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler homered for Colorado to support a solid effort by Jhoulys Chacin pitched into the seventh, allowing just one earned run and striking six and giving the Rockies a 3-1 lead into the eighth inning, before the bullpen collapsed.
“We just continued to compete, continue to stay optimistic, stay positive,” Ryan Braun said. “We know eventually we’re going to find a way to score runs. It’s a great sign that we were able to come back and win a game like this.”
