Jack ends in Brox: Keon robs Cards' HR

MILWAUKEE -- Corey Knebel earned the save, and Keon Broxton earned himself a nice steak dinner.

Broxton began Wednesday on the bench, but he finished the day dancing in center field after authoring a remarkable finish to the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Cardinals at Miller Park. Broxton's leaping catch robbed Randal Grichuk of a go-ahead home run to finish Knebel's 30th save, prompting the promise of an expensive meal.

"I'll get him whatever he wants," Knebel said.

Broxton's catch conjured memories of July 8, 2013, when Carlos Gomez made a similar grab just a few steps down the same warning track to deny an incredulous Joey Votto of a go-ahead homer, sealing a Brewers win over the Reds.
