MILWAUKEE -- When a team wins a game in walk-off fashion, like the Brewers did Friday night at American Family Field against the Rockies, the player driving in the game-winning run usually gets most of the attention and credit.

But in reality, walk-off victories aren't possible without a cadre of heroes, and in Milwaukee's case, it took contributions from just about every single player on the active roster to set the stage for Luis Urías' 13th-inning walk-off single and the Brewers' 6-5 win.

"In the end, I thought we just pitched really well," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "The guys kept doing a nice job on the mound and gave us a chance."

As is so often the case when Milwaukee wins, it started with right-hander Corbin Burnes. The All-Star and staff ace wasn't his usual dominant self but still managed to hold Colorado to just two runs while covering five innings.

Then, there was the offense -- which in the past has struggled to produce when the Brewers' ace is on the mound -- that worked quickly to erase the early deficit with a pair of third-inning home runs that flipped a 2-0 hole into 3-2 lead.

Milwaukee's offense did it again in the 10th after the Rockies slipped ahead with two runs off Jandel Gustave.

Hoby Milner took over for Gustave and got the Brewers out of the inning, pitched a scoreless 11th and then turned the ball over to fellow left-hander Brent Suter, who retired slugger Kris Bryant with his first pitch then needed just 11 more to get through the rest of the game.

"[Suter] was great today," Counsell said. "Very efficient. He had the ability to go out there for a third inning if we needed him."

Thanks to Urías, a third inning from Suter wasn't necessary.

With pinch-runner Jonathan Davis at second base, Colorado right-hander Jake Bird intentionally walked Kolten Wong to open the inning to bring up Urías, who'd gone 0-for-5 with a strikeout to that point and quickly fell behind by swinging and missing at back-to-back cutters.

"I was just trying to fight," Urías said. The game gets hard sometimes, but you have to keep going. You have to forget about the other ABs. I was trying to stay in the moment and do my best."

Urias did just that, holding off on a curveball for ball one. He fouled off Bird's next offering to keep the at-bat -- and the game -- alive. Then he held off on a sinker for ball two. He then fouled off another pitch. He got just enough of a 90.5 mph cutter to finally bring the marathon affair to an end, nearly five hours after it started.

"The game was a little tough for everybody, hitting-wise, but we got the win," Urias said. "That's a good way to start the second half."

Especially considering the way the first half ended. Milwaukee slumped into the All-Star break having lost eight of its last 11, including three straight to the Giants, leaving it just a half-game ahead of second-place St. Louis in the NL Central.

But thanks to the all-hands-on-deck approach Friday night -- and the Cardinals' 9-5 loss to the Reds in their own second-half debut -- the Brewers will wake up Saturday morning 1 1/2 games up and with some momentum as they look to win consecutive games for just the second time this month.

"Obviously, we want to win any way possible, but this really helps the camaraderie in the clubhouse," Renfroe said. "Everybody played in this game, and it was incredible."
