“It’s Uecker magic,” said Bonnie Bruhn, a 79-year-old Brewers fan from the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis, Wisconsin. As the Brewers prepare to spend this weekend honoring Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker, fans are hoping the team can pay tribute to him by making the deep playoff run that has eluded this franchise lately.

Christian Yelich had arguably his best game of the season while paying homage to late legendary announcer Bob Uecker.

Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.

The Brewers gave Yelich a nine-year, $215 million contract extension in March 2020, believing not only in the talent, but the person. They see the way he interacts with young players.

Brandon Woodruff (4-0, 2.06) starts for the Brewers and will be countered by Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.44). The Cubs won Game 1, 6-4. With two outs in the first, William Contreras singles, Christian Yelich walked and Andrew Vaughn singled to drive in Contreras for the quick 1-0 lead.
