Christian Yelich had been quiet during the NLCS, but the Milwaukee Brewers star got it going when it mattered the most.
Yelich took an 0-1 98-mph fastball from Los Angeles Dodgers starter Walker Buehler out to right-center field at Miller Park to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning of Game 7.

Yelich entered the game 6-for-32 in the postseason, but few people will remember that after his big home run.
Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig came close to robbing the homer but got his glove stuck against the wall:

The team that scores first is 21-6 this postseason, which is a great sign for Milwaukee about reaching the World Series.
