MLB MVP O' the Day - April 7, 2013 - National Beer Day Edition

In case you missed it, yesterday was National Beer Day.  Naturally, the Brewers are involved in both the MVP and GOD for the day.  It is also the reason the post is so late.

4/7 MVP: Jonathan Lucroy, C, Milwaukee Brewers - 2-3, 2 RBI, 1 HBP, WPA 0.55

4/7 GOD: Arizona Diamondbacks (8) @ Milwaukee Brewers (7) - Turning Point: Tie score top of the 11th, John Axford in.  Cliff Pennington leads off with a double to left.  Ron Roenicke starts to question bringing a Canadian in to pitch for the Brewers on National Beer Day in the United States.  Eric Hinske hates Molsen and homers, giving the D'Backs a 8-6 lead.  The great American, and Eustis, Florida native, Jonathan Lucroy tried to bring the Brew Crew back in the bottom of the 11th with a RBI single that scored Norichika Aoki.  However, the damage was done.  John Axford's mistake on National Beer Day is something you don't do when you pitch for the Brew, and rightfully  he is now out of a job.  Be wary new Canadian closer Jim Henderson.  April 7, 2014 is looming.
