Yovani Gallardo, Prince Fielder Lift Brewers Over Diamondbacks in NLDS Game One


Backed by a solid outing by Yovani Gallardo, Prince Fielder capped the run support for the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game One of their NLDS.

Gallardo went eight awesome innings, surrendering just the one run on four hits, walking one and striking out nine for his very first postseason victory. He simply out-dueled opposing pitcher and NL Cy Young candidate Ian Kennedy, matching a Brewers record in K's for the postseason.

Jerry Hairston, Jr. kicked off the scoring with a sacrifice fly that scored Ryan Braun in the fourth before Jonathan Lucroy added an RBI single in the sixth. The very next inning, Fielder smashed an effortless bomb into deep right field to give the Brewers a 4-0 lead.
