Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Propels Brewers to Game 1 win
Tellez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a strikeout in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta in Game 1 of the NLDS.
Tellez returned from a strained right patella for the final two games of the regular season and went 2-for-6 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout. Neither team generated much offensive production in Friday's pitching duel, but the 26-year-old put Milwaukee on the board with his home run to center field in the bottom of the seventh inning. He should be the favorite for playing time at first base during the postseason.
