I'm not sure how many more ways I can say this, but Yovani Gallardo had an incredible performance today. As evidence of his greatness, I present an updated list of the best pitching performances in Brewer postseason history, sorted by WPA:

Pitcher Season Series Game WPA
Yovani Gallardo 2011 NLDS 1 +.434
Pete Ladd 1982 ALCS 5 +.270
Mike Caldwell 1982 WS 1 +.261
Don Sutton 1982 ALCS 3 +.259
Bob McClure 1982 WS 4 +.242

Gallardo also tied Sutton's franchise record by striking out nine in a postseason game. It was his lowest strikeout total in his last four starts.
