Brewers magic continues as Milwaukee completes crazy walk off against Padres closer Mason Miller

The entered the postseason as Major League Baseball's hottest team, and played like it against the Chicago Cubs in the wild card series. Completely shutting down of the league's best offenses, the Padres rolled by a combined score of 12-1 in the first round.

Their offense, led by a resurgent Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill, along with strong contributions from unexpected sources like Dustin Harris, Luis Campusano and Ty France, looked formidable. And typically aggressive trades brought in Robbie Ray to strengthen the rotation behind Michael King and Nick Pivetta. The Padres run through September was magical, going 18-6 to clinch a and home field in the wild card series.

But in a sign of how quickly things can change in October, their division round matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers has shown how "magic" is unpredictable.

NO, THE SAN DIEGO PADRES DIDN'T LOSE BECAUSE OF CONTROVERSIAL NINTH INNING HOME RUN RULING

The Brewers won game one 3-2 in controversial fashion after France crushed a towering fly ball that hit the American Family Field roof and fell harmlessly into the glove of outfielder Jackson Chourio. The same Chourio that hit a mammoth two-run homer off Ray to tie the score earlier in the game. It wouldn't be his last big moment of the weekend.

The Padres jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning on a Ty France single, then added another with some uncharacteristically poor defense from Milwaukee. In the 6th, Brice Turang made an error on a routine double play ball from Tatis that allowed him to reach and sent Campusano to third base with one out. Harris grounded into a force out that let Campusano score to extend it to 2-0.

Milwaukee scratched across a run in the 6th, but San Diego once again got it back thanks to Ty France. But in the 7th, the defensive miscue tables turned. Second baseman Jake Cronenworth made an error on a David Hamilton grounder, letting Garrett Mitchell score to make the score 3-2.

Must-win situation, game and series on the line in the 8th, and the Padres understandably turned to all world closer Mason Miller. Miller, who had a 1.67 ERA in the regular season, which arguably was a bit "unlucky" to begin with, got through the 8th on just 12 pitches.

Bottom of the 9th, 3-2 game, and Miller started to show some cracks in his seemingly invincible armor. After getting Garrett Mitchell to ground out, he walked Christian Yelich, then Sal Frelick. When he got Andrew Vaughn to fly out to center for
