After a low scoring victory in game 1 of the series, the Atlanta Braves looked to go ahead and put the series away in Milwaukee. Chris Johnson hit a deep fly ball in the 1st inning that was botched by Braun, giving the Braves a 1-0 lead, and giving Garza an unearned run. In the top of the 5th, Johnson stroked a double into the left-center gap, scoring Alex Wood and B.J. Upton, and giving the Braves a 3-0 lead. Alex Wood was dominant through 6 innings, giving the Braves six shutout innings before allowing two baserunners on in the bottom of the 7th inning. Rookie reliever Gus Schlosser was brought in to face Brewers catcher Jonathon Lucroy. Lucroy took a mistake fastball into the left field seats, tying the game at 3-3. Fast forward to the bottom of the 10th, when Jordan Walden was pulled after giving up a leadoff pinch-hit single to Hunter Morris, handing the ball off to long reliever Anthony Varvaro. Varvaro lost control giving up a hit and walking two men, to set up Ryan Braun with the bases loaded and two outs. On a 3-2 count, Varvaro could not command his fastball, walking the winning run for the Brewers in from 3rd. Varvaro was tagged with the loss while Michael Fiers picked up the win for the Brewers.
