MILWAUKEE -- Baseball is a crazy, crazy game. Just ask the Brewers' Keon Broxton and Tyler Thornburg.
Prior to Wednesday night's game against the Cubs, outfielder Broxton and reliever Thornburg struck up a conversation in the Miller Park outfield on the specifics of robbing home runs. Hours later, Broxton gave Thornburg a practical, game-saving lesson when he took a homer away from Anthony Rizzo to preserve a 2-1 win.
The oversized warning track and the angle of the wall in the right- and left-center gaps would create less-than-ideal chances of bringing back homers, Thornburg thought.
