Milwaukee Brewers: Logan Henderson made MLB history in Game 2 victory over San Diego Padres

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game Two of the National League Division Series, propelling them to a 2-0 series lead. While outfielder Jackson Chourio received the bulk of the attention for his clutch two-out, two-RBI single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, pitcher Logan Henderson made MLB history with his performance on Sunday.

Starting the game for the first time in his MLB career, Henderson went 5 innings pitched, allowing just 2 hits, 2 runs (one earned), 3 walks, and striking out 4 batters. This marked the beginning of the 24th career start for Henderson, during which he has now pitched 3 consecutive games with 3 earned runs or fewer, a record that surpasses the previous longest streak by Zac Gallen.

Henderson's performance is particularly impressive considering he had to overcome an arm injury before the trade deadline this year. The Detroit Tigers had reportedly demanded Henderson in return for Tarik Skubal, but the Milwaukee Brewers refused, and Henderson remained with his current team.

Despite the stellar performance, Henderson shared the spotlight with Chourio, who now stands on the cusp of breaking the MLB postseason home run record. The Brewers are now just one game away from sweeping the Padres and advancing to Game Three.
