Michael Busch left his imprint on the 8-7 Milwaukee win against the Oakland Athletics. Busch was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. With the win over Oakland, the Brewers improved to 57-96.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Busch hit a slider from Robert Stephenson for a solo home run. The Brewers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Nice win for us," said Busch. "Now we'll go after the next one."
