As you've likely heard by now, all eight Brewer runs scored tonight with two outs. Seven of their eleven hits in the game came after two men had been retired, which was a pretty welcome change.
If it feels like the Brewers haven't typically been coming through with two outs this season, it's because they haven't. Take a look at these splits entering the game:
Situation | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
0 out | 369 | .235 | .296 | .396 | .693 |
1 out | 370 | .258 | .317 | .452 | .768 |
2 out | 327 | .184 | .266 | .347 | .613 |
The Brewers hit .249/.328/.406 for a .734 OPS with two outs last season. Their seven hits with two outs give them 61 on the season. Let me put that another way: Tonight's two out hits represented 11.5% of their season total, despite the fact that this was the Brewers' 30th game.
Prior to tonight's game the Brewers only had 41 two-out RBI all season. They picked up eight tonight.
