Brewers trash Miami Marlins 16-1 on Friday night

Josh Donaldson and Christian Yelich homered both his home runs in a 12-run second inning as Milwaukee Brewers tore apart the Miami Marlins 16-1 on Friday night and clinched a playoff spot.

Brewers had nine hits in the second inning, three walks and one steal. It was the second-biggest frame in Brewers history, staying one short from the 13-run fifth inning against the Angels on July 8 over 33 years ago.

Yelich returned from a back injury and played just his second game since Sept. 9. He went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBIs and four runs for the Brewers. With this victory, Milwaukee has now won 23 of its past 32 games.
