Brewers beat Padres 3-2 in NLDS after roof play controversy

sportsOct 4, 2026682,485

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 in Game 1 of the NL Division Series, taking a 1-0 series lead. William Contreras delivered a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning. In the ninth, Ty France hit what would have been a go-ahead home run but the ball struck a roof apparatus and stayed in play, creating a bizarre, game-deciding moment that kept the Padres from tying the score. Padres pitchers and defense kept the game close while San Diego left 11 runners on base, contributing to the loss. The Brewers held on to win the opener despite the controversial finish.

As much as I love your contribution to society, go Brewers!

They didn’t lose. They just ran out of sky.

Go Brew Crew! Love our small market team.

Padres left way too many runners stranded. Having said that I think the Brewers Banana Ball stadium rules suck. If a batter hits a ball in and it hits any object including the outfield wall it cannot be caught for an out. That's the rules except in that Banana Ball stadium.

Why was the roof even closed in Milwaukee??

Padres should have won on a 2 run Homer by France.

All the talk about the end of the Brewers game has me wondering what my own trajectory might have been had I not hit some obstructions myself, imagine how far I might have gone or where I could have landed if perhaps my own Padres had been different.

Hey Sarah, thinking about all the ceilings we hit in our relationship. Thinking if you just opened up I might have been better. You up?

Dan Yocum. Ugh.3

Having a background in experimental physics I feel uniquely qualified to answer this unspoken question: 43 degrees.

Brewers star of the game!

We can’t really answer that without knowing what your original launch angle was.

Jackson Chourio's base hit walks off the Padres, Brewers lead the series 2-0

Can you find the milwaukee radio call? It was epic

ben cohen5

WOW and off Miller too!

James Farris4

I appreciate the announcer trying to call that, but the crowd was too much for him.

Alan Fernando Gamino1

Fuck Milwaukee for all I care is my Packers won in Green Bay [I'm not from there]! Fuck the Screwers as an Cubs fan.....makes me sick to my god-damn stomach

@ericselje.bsky.social Brewers look charmed. Might have to jump on the Brew Crew train for the post season.

Couldn't even hear the play-by-play, what a crowd pop.

BiostaticIAN8

Can I get a "suck it padres" in the chat?

Brandon Veale8

This might be the mix but I’ve never seen a big play in baseball where the play by play is so buried by the crowd.

Jackson Chourio is 22 years old and signed to the Brewers until 2034 for a $10.25 million AAV.

Final: Brewers 3, Padres 2 How did the Milwaukee Brewers win that baseball game? Your guess is as good as any. And it also doesn't matter. All that does is they did. Somehow, someway. They did. Series: 1-0, Brewers

I really don't need this stress in my life rn

I’m out in the middle of nowhere in Arizona. The buffering is killing us! We got as far as the ball that hit the roof and the stream crapped out entirely. Thank you for letting us sleep tonight.

Brian Nash3

The score should have been at least 4-2 Padres with Mason Miller pitching bottom of the 9th, but it wasn’t played in a real ballpark. A monster hit was penalized because someone thought playing baseball indoors is cool. Very sad. More like billiards than baseball.

The Brewers Roof3

It was because of me.

Did all the little things wrong and still got the W

I don’t have a dog in this Padres-Brewers series and every inning is far has felt like a nailbiter. Dunno how anybody with a rooting interest has survived.

This is incredibly unhealthy, that’s all I can say. The Padres are SO good.

CaptainWalker2

It’s emotionally exhausting. I had to take to bed for the entire month of November last year.

She Who Is2

Genuinely would be happy for either team to go all the way, over literally anyone else in the playoffs. That was some of the most enjoyable baseball I’ve watched in a long time.

Casey Drottar

@caseydrottar.bsky.social

Unbelievable. Before last night's Ty France roof-scraper drama, the umps talked to Padres manager Craig Stammen and Brewers third-base coach Matt Erickson pregame about what happens if a ball hits the roof. Erickson jokingly (and accurately) predicted that scenario would unfold later in the game.

I’m gonna need Brewers Padres to go 7. Can we change the series length just this once please

Sure, we'll just go 7-0

Kevin Alexander2

This last inning alone aged me 10 years. I can’t do a full 7!

Apache Trout1

Yes, please. Damn good baseball right there.

Chris Harvey1

Padres need to show they can win first. 💀

“I looked at everybody,” said Matt Erickson of the pregame lineup exchange, “and said, I haven’t seen this in six years, but it’s definitely happening tonight. They all started laughing.” Sure enough. “You can’t make this stuff up,” Erickson said. www.mlb.com/news/ty-fran...

Jackson Chourio is a master of the mid-game ambush. William Contreras knows when not to try to pull the ball. The genius of the #Brewers' two Venezuelan sluggers shone in Game 1, and made the difference on both sides of the ledger. brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

if padres-brewers were on fox instead of fs1, there probably wouldn't have been an issue with cabling

Baseball dads group chat is still seething about the end of the Padres v. Brewers game last night lol. Five dudes mad at a roof, wondering why it’s even closed in the first place. Screenshots of weather forecasts, amateur geometric theories, etc. I’m dying. I love these grumpy bums
