It’s a rematch of Game 1 starters when Gallardo bested Kennedy to keep his perfect record against the Diamondbacks intact. Milwaukee went on to win the first two games at Miller Park, where the Brewers had a majors-best 57 home victories in the regular season, before Arizona stayed alive by winning the next two in Phoenix.

Gallardo retired 14 of 15 at one point, allowing one run on four hits over eight innings in a 4-1 victory in Game 1. The 25-year-old right-hander is 6-0 with a 1.18 ERA in six career starts against Arizona, but acknowledges he’s never pitched in an elimination game on any level.

Milwaukee used a five-run sixth inning to win 9-4 in Game 2, but the beastly offensive attack ended in Arizona, where the Diamondbacks won both games facing elimination.

Kennedy, a 21-game winner, could do little but wait to see if he’d even get another chance to pitch this season after being knocked out of the first game when Prince Fielder hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

Arizona battled back in every way back in Phoenix, including when Miguel Montero helped begin a celebration they coined “The Snake” to answer Milwaukee’s arms-raised bravado of “Beast Mode.”

Bigger still was the way Arizona struck against Milwaukee with grand slams by rookie Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth inning of an 8-1 victory in Game 3 on Tuesday and Ryan Roberts’ first-inning effort in a 10-6 win in Game 4.

The Diamondbacks joined the 1977 Dodgers as the only two teams to hit slams in consecutive playoff games after rallying for a major league-best 48 comeback wins in the regular season.

Arizona’s unheralded offense includes All-Star Justin Upton and hardly recognizable guys such as Goldschmidt, Young, Bloomquist and Roberts. The Diamondbacks hit .343 at home compared to .212 at Miller Park.

The two clubs chased each other after wrapping up division titles the final week of the season.

Milwaukee clinched its first division title in 29 years by winning the NL Central while Arizona completed a worst-to-first turnaround to take the NL West. Now they will both compete with just one game left and everything on the line.
