After his team had overcome a three-run deficit against the Houston Astros and were the first to score in the 10th inning, it was on Milwaukee Brewers reliever Trevor Megill to seal the deal.

Megill took the mound in the bottom of the 10th and did so in near-perfect fashion. Megill would face Yordan Alvarez, Christian Walker and Cam Smith. Smith was 2-for-4 on the evening with two RBIs thanks to a home run and a double.

After striking out Alvarez to open the bottom of the frame, Megill got Walker to fly out to right field before facing Smith.

With a 2-2 count, Megill delivered a 99-mph fastball to the top of the strike zone that Smith foul tipped into the glove of catcher William Contreras. Subsequently, Megill let out a celebratory roar as the Brewers notched their fourth win in a row.

After the game, Megill talked about navigating the critical situation in the 10th.

"Yeah, I mean, it's just, you go in there and attack and hope they foul it off or swing through it," Megill told the media.

"So, pretty good heater today, and got the strike, and I was fortunate enough to get a quick punch out and then that pop up, and then obviously finish it with another strikeout. But yeah, get a little more easy going into those innings as time goes by."

According to his Baseball Savant profile, Megill’s fastest pitch of the evening came in at 99.6 mph, and his average fastball velocity hovered at 98.3 mph. Of the 11 pitches Megill threw, nine were four-seam fastballs and two were knuckle curveballs.

"This is exactly where I was last year," Megill said about his velocity. "I feel like a seven to eight, pop a nine, maybe a hundred. But just like I said earlier, it's early in the season and still building up a little bit and finally starting to feel good."

Megill also talked about Abner Uribe, who took the mound before him to get the Brewers through the bottom of the ninth inning.

It was a game that Uribe was set to be suspended for after making an obscene gesture during his relief appearance against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 26, but he was allowed to pitch due to his choice to appeal the suspension.

While the external situation unfolds for Uribe, Megill feels that he did his job on the mound.

"Picked up his teammates there," Megill said. "That's kind of our job as pitchers is, we can control what we control. And, well, we can't what we can't, and that's what good teams do. They pick each other up, and we saw that tonight from him."

Megill also emphasized that he is impressed by Uribe’s willingness to take accountability for the situation.

"I talked to him the other day, I thought his interview just explained the situation was really good, apologize to the team," Megill said. "Just the steps he's taken and kind of where he's at today, I'm impressed by. 

"And it's something that happened and something we can get past," he added. "And probably gonna be a Gif for a long time, a funny one if that. But yeah, I mean, it's the guy we love, and he gets a little emotional sometimes out there, but that's our guy."
