Milwaukee edged San Diego 3-2 in their playoff opener Saturday after Ty France's ninth-inning drive struck a roof cable and was caught for an out.
- William Contreras hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning as the Brewers won the National League Division Series opener.
- France's drive struck a roof cable in fair territory, was caught by Jackson Chourio for an out, and the Padres' challenge was upheld.
- Chourio hit a two-run homer earlier, his franchise-record fifth career postseason home run.
- Padres manager Craig Stammen said the drive would have been a home run, while Brewers manager Pat Murphy said it would have gone foul.
