Brewers Win 4-3 Over Padres on Caleb Durbin Walk-Off Homer

In a closely contested game between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, rookie Caleb Durbin delivered a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, securing a 4-3 victory for the Brewers. Despite a strong pitching performance from Padres starter Stephen Kolek and a late Padres rally that tied the game, Durbin capitalized on a high fastball from reliever David Morgan to end the game decisively. Brewers starter Jose Quintana pitched five innings while allowing only one run, and the Brewers' offense managed to persevere through multiple tough at-bats and situational hitting, aided by leadership from veterans like Christian Yelich and Rhys Hoskins. The Padres struggled with lineup adjustments due to the absence of Fernando Tatis Jr. and had difficulty producing consistent run support, going 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Both teams exhibited strong pitching and defensive efforts, but Durbin's clutch homer proved the difference in a game marked by resilience and strategic small ball. The Brewers' win avenged their previous night's loss to the Padres and thrilled the home crowd at American Family Field.
