MILWAUKEE — Great directors often become famed for killing it in a certain genre. Hitchcock with mystery, Cameron with action flicks and Fellini with, well, Fellini. So it is with manager Pat Murphy and his Brewers with how they play baseball. They have mastered the cliffhanger.
Milwaukee has played five games this postseason. All 1,440 pitches in all 45 innings have been contested with the tying run no further away than on deck. Forty-five innings of playoff baseball with two teams never separated by more than two runs.
