Game 2 takeaways: Brewers defense falters before finding a way
The Brewers didn't have their best defense in Game 2 of the NLDS, a showing that still didn't stand in Milwaukee's way by game's end.
In Game 2 of the National League Division Series, the Milwaukee Brewers' defense faltered in the early innings, leading to unearned runs and giving the San Diego Padres a 3-1 lead. However, Jackson Chourio's game-winning single in the ninth inning helped the Brewers secure a 2-0 series lead. Veteran Christian Yelich acknowledged that the team didn't play their best game, but emphasized the importance of pushing through challenges to find a way to win.
The Padres' Manny Machado stole third base in the seventh inning, aided by a defensive miscue by Brice Turang. While Henderson's pitching was inconsistent, he managed to retire eight batters in a row before giving up a single. Both teams had issues with challenges at the plate, with the Brewers failing to capitalize on opportunities and the Padres not taking advantage of the green light.
Despite these setbacks, the Brewers remain confident in their ability to win a second consecutive NLCS.
