Baseball Savant

Notes: These are meaningful games for the Brewers! Entering Sunday, they’re a half-game behind the Phillies for the final NL Wild Card spot...Closer Devin Williams is unlikely to be available. He’s thrown 73 pitches over the last four days and struggled badly with his control in those appearances.
