| Wilkerson: 1st MLB Win |
With no games of any meaning in terms of the post-season, the top performer of the day was Milwaukee Brewers call-up, pitcher Aaron Wilkerson, who stopped the Cardinals dead in their tracks over seven innings in a 6-1 Brewers' victory at St. Louis.
Wilkerson, 28, notched his first major league victory, holding the Cardinals to one run on two hits, the only run coming of the bat of Randall Grichuk, who socked a solo homer in the seventh. Wilkerson didn't walk anyone and fanned five, throwing 86 pitches, 56 for strikes. The right-hander spent the majority of the 2017 season in AA with the Biloxi Shuckers of the Southern League, where he was 11-4 with a 3.16 ERA in 24 starts.
The Brewers ended the regular season in second place in the NL Central, six games behind the Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals finished nine games out in third.
Post-season NL Schedule:
Wednesday, October 4: (Wild Card) Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks, 8:00 pm ET
Friday, October 6: (NLDS) Chicago Cubs at Washington Nationals, 7:30 pm ET
Friday, October 6: (NLDS) Wild Card at Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:30 pm ET
The wild card game is single-elimination, one game; the NLDS series are best-of-five.
