According to FS1, Moustakas had been 0-for-36 this season when facing an 0-2 count until delivering that hit.
The walk-off win was fitting for Milwaukee. They led for eight innings and only blew the lead in the top of the 9th when closer Jeremy Jeffress allowed two runs to tie the game. A couple of walks by Ottavino and the hit by Moustakas was what they needed to take the game. They now lead the series 1-0.
