Brewers' Ryan Braun: Launches 28th homer in Friday loss

Braun went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

Analysis:

The veteran slugger uncorked a mammoth 448-foot shot off John Lackey in the third, his fourth round-tripper of September. Braun is on the cusp of the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2012 and is just three RBI away from posting his best total in the category since that season as well. He's also hit safely in five of his last seven and is slashing .304/.369/.537 in what has been a resurgent season.
