Brewers edge Padres 3-2 in NLDS opener that features bizarre play in 9th inning

William Contreras hit a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres in their playoff opener on Saturday night. The contest featured a bizarre ninth-inning sequence when Ty France sent a towering fly ball that ricocheted off the stadium roof and landed directly into Jackson Chourio's glove for a crucial out under local ground rules.

Despite late opportunities, San Diego failed to capitalize and fell behind in the series ahead of Sunday's Game 2 matchup between Michael King and Logan Henderson.
