MILWAUKEE -- You can close the books on the Brewers' regularly scheduled 2017 home slate, but don't shutter Miller Park for winter just yet.

Brett Phillips and the Brewers kept their postseason hopes alive with a 4-3 win over the Reds in Thursday's regular-season home finale, with the rookie outfielder delivering the go-ahead run on a sixth-inning double moments after the Reds had rallied to tie, and relievers Anthony Swarzak and Corey Knebel closing it out.

Milwaukee gained a half-game on idle Colorado in the race for the second National League Wild Card, but still trails by two games with three to play.
