The Milwaukee Brewers are just one win away from returning to the NCLS. Jackson Chourio has stepped up as the hero in the second consecutive game, leading the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres. In Game 1, Chourio's two-run home run tied the score early, setting the stage for William Contreras' solo shot. However, Sunday's Game 2 presented a different challenge.
San Diego took a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning, with closer Mason Miller tasked with preserving the lead. Miller's perfect eighth inning, consisting of two strikeouts and a fly out, pushed the game into the ninth. But Miller's troubles began when he walked Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick, loading the bases. He then walked Gary Sánchez, loading the bases once more.
Facing a 2-2 count, Chourio stepped up to the plate and hit a 101-mph fastball up the middle for the walk-off hit, securing the win for the Brewers. The series moves to San Diego for Game 3, with the Brewers needing one more win to secure their spot in the NLCS on Tuesday, October 6 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.
