Late-inning leads were never safe during the regular season. The St. Louis bullpen blew 26 saves and turned routine into chaotic.
That was then, this is now.
In Game 2 and 3 wins of the National League Championship Series, the bullpen pitched 8 1/3 innings of one-run ball.
Combine that with timely hitting from the lineup and Milwaukee's inability to perform in front of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder or on the road (eight consecutive postseason losses away from Miller Park) and the Red Birds find themselves leading the best-of-seven LCS 2-1.
