It is enough to finish and give Christian Yelich the trophy of the most valuable player of the National League.

In another game that the Milwaukee brewers had to have, he delivered in the widest possible way.

Yelich traded twice, his second shot in the seventh inning proved to be the difference in a 6-5 win over the Detroit Tigers at Miller Park on Saturday night.

Combined with the Chicago Cubs' 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals earlier in the day, the Brewers will qualify on Sunday with the Cubs to lead the center division to 94-67 with a remaining game.

While it remains to be seen whether the Cardinals will fight to beat the Cubs after being eliminated from the playoffs later on Saturday, the Brewers could not ask for much more than going on the final day of the regular season with their fate in their own hands.

The pesky tigers tied the Brewers at 5-5 in the sixth.

But it was Yelich's time.

Faced with Daniel Stumpf to start the bottom of the seventh, Yelich watched a pitch before connecting to the second left-handed offering – an 85 mph slider – and sending it to the second deck for the most great pleasure of the room. only crowd.

As he began his run around the bases, Yelich gave an unusual bat flip and yelled in the Brewers canoe while being inundated with songs of "MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Yelich was in the Milwaukee niche only a few seconds before emerging for a call to the curtain. And why not? He had just tied Cardinals Matt Carpenter to the top of the NHL with 36 points.

He scored his .324 average and Yelich entered the final game of the regular season with 109 RBIs, just two points behind league leader Javy Báez.

If Yelich could at least match Báez on Sunday while remaining tied with Carpenter, he would become the first winner of the Triple Crown of Newfoundland and Labrador since Joe Medwick in 1937.

Milwaukee then had lighting work on his pen to close it. Joakim Soria (3-1) threw a 1-2-3 seventh, then Corey Knebel and Jeremy Jeffress each broke the eighth and ninth flank to set up the final of the season's most memorable history of the franchise.

The match sparked a Brewers offensive attack in the fourth quarter.

Thanks to Milwaukee, 3-2, Hernán Pérez and Mike Moustakas clinched Detainee Daniel Norris against the southpaw Detroit.

Jonathan Schoop made a full count before doubling in the corner of the left field to place Perez tied.

Then Erik Kratz shot a big shot in third place under the glove of Jeimer Candelario and left to score both Moustakas and Schoop and give the Brewers their first lead at 5-3.

Nicholas Castellanos brought the Tigers back to 5-4 with a double at Corbin Burnes's right-back at the fifth.

They equalized in the sixth inning when Dawel Lugo tripled in the center right in the third pitch thrown by Taylor Williams and Pete Kozma pushed it with a sacrifice volley to the left.

It seems that Castellanos returned later in the inning when, with two more withdrawals and two more riders, he landed a long fly ball to the right of Jacob Barnes. But Yelich managed to take off the reader with a mini-jump on the wall to preserve the tie.

For the second consecutive night, the Brewers found themselves facing an offensive team of tigers.

Starter Wade Miley conceded a pair of singles in first place, 1-0 behind, while Niko Goodrum drove JaCoby Jones after Jones stole second.

Miley took a walk and made another single in a scoreless second, then launched a terrible third in which he hit Candelario to start.

Castellanos scored twice and Goodrum hit again. This time, he clinched a two-point hat-trick in the lead right up to the Detroit mark (3-0).

Miley finished the run but left for a nipper at the bottom of the frame after experiencing one of his less effective starts this season.

Some of the pressure was eliminated at the end of the run when, with two outs Lorenzo Cain scored the goal and Yelich relied on Norris before attacking a two-point clock in the center left to reduce the deficit to 3-2 .
