Ax

Axford with son born last year

 Axford streak of 49 consecutive saves was ended last night.  And he had 3 strikeouts but didn't even finish the inning... 

In the bottom of the ninth, a two-run blast by Corey Hart off Cubs closer Rafael Dolis tied the game at 7, taking Axford off the hook for the loss in an eventual 8-7 Milwaukee win in 13 innings.

Axford left immediately following the game, accompanying his wife to the hospital for the birth of their second child.

"The luck I've had in the past didn't show up tonight," Axford said in a note left for the media. "All I can do is begin another streak and keep my head up."

But then read the actual note he left, Hahaha!
