Show of hands if you had Brandon Woodruff (with his bat!!) and Domingo Santana haunting the dreams of Clayton Kershaw tonight? Well, here we are in Game 1 of the NLCS, and the improbable has happened. After two runs in the third inning to take the lead, Brew Crew fans were treated to this Domingo Santana pinch-hit opportunity in the fourth:

Just like that, it was 4-1. Just like that, Kershaw was yanked from the game. And Milwaukee wasn't done.
With Ryan Madson taking over on the hill, Ryan Braun did his thing, driving home Santana with a well-placed single.
RYAN BRAUN HAS WAITED LONG ENOUGH!
