That's why Brewers are known for big bats

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin - The Milwaukee Brewers flexed their power-hitting muscles to claim a 9-6 comeback victory over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in the opener of the National League Championship Series.

The Brewers fought back from a 5-2 deficit with a six-run, fifth-inning outburst against their Central Division rivals keyed by their celebrated sluggers.

Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder provided the knockout blows, with Braun belting a two-run double and Fielder following with a two-run home run off St Louis starter and loser Jaime Garcia that clanged off the wall beyond the bullpen in right-center.
