Jake Bauers topped previous career best at-bat by embodying Brewers' mantra

In Game 2 of the NLCS, Jake Bauers drew a 12-pitch walk against Yoshinobu Yamamoto with two runners on base in the third inning, fouling off six consecutive pitches before taking a curveball in the dirt. Christian Yelich followed with a go-ahead two-run single that forced Yamamoto from the game after just 75 pitches, helping the Brewers win 7-4. This marks the second time Bauers has won a 12-pitch at-bat this season, embodying the Brewers' "drag him" philosophy of grinding out counts and refusing to go down without a fight. Bauers led the National League with 94 walks during the regular season and has added six more in the postseason.
