Brewers are pouring it on RESULTS/SCHEDULE

10th straight win leaves Rockies looking frustrated

MILWAUKEE — It turns out there is way more to the Brewers than just Christian Yelich.

The rest of this Brew Crew can play too. Especially those guys in that loaded bullpen.

Jhoulys Chacin pitched five sparkling innings before turning things over to the relievers, Mike Moustakas contributed two more big hits and the Brewers blanked the Rockies 4-0 Friday to take a 2-0 lead in their NL Division Series.

While the sweet-swinging Yelich had a quiet day by his standards, the NL Central champions showed off their supporting cast on the way to a 10th straight win going back to an impressive finish to the regular season.

Erik Kratz had two hits and two RBIs, Hernan Perez hit two ground-rule doubles and the Brewers’ bullpen closed the door after Chacin delivered in his playoff debut.

Game 3 is Sunday at Coors Field. Another win, and the Brew Crew is into the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2011.

Nolan Arenado had two of the Rockies’ six hits — just two more than the franchise playoff low set in Thursday’s 3-2, 10-inning loss in Game 1. The wildcard Rockies have scored six times in their last four games, and their potent lineup is showing signs of frustration.

Chris Iannetta snapped his bat in half over his right leg after he struck out with a runner on third, no one out and Colorado down 1-0 in the seventh. Arenado threw down his bat and G5: E: LOB: RBIs:

Carlos Gonzalez leaned over with his hands on his knees after he lined out in the eighth.

The Rockies had just one hit through eight innings in the series opener before rallying for two runs in the ninth against Jeremy Jeffress.

But the All-Star righthander was back to his normal self in Game 2, working around a single in the eighth and ninth for his first save in his third career playoff game.
