The Brewers’ season ended last night, with a 5-2 loss to the Diamondbacks in game two of their opening-round playoff series. Milwaukee grabbed an early lead with two runs in the first inning, Freddy Peralta breezed through four innings, but gave up one run in the fifth, and left as Arizona scored four times in the sixth. The Crew loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth, but Christian Yelich was cut down at home on a Sal Frelick infield grounder, and Willy Adames grounded into a force out to end the inning.

The Diamondbacks will face the Phillies in the next round. Philadelphia ousted the Marlins 7-1 last night.

The Rangers and Twins both advanced in the American League playoffs. Texas dispatched the Rays 7-1 last evening, and Minnesota eliminated the Blue Jays 2-0.
