⚾️ Y! Sports AM: Magic in Milwaukee
Jackson Chourio played the hero on Sunday, lifting the Brewers to an epic victory.
In a thrilling Game 2 of the NL Division Series in Milwaukee, Brewers rookie Jackson Chourio delivered the ultimate heroics, hitting a walk-off home run against Padres closer Mason Miller. This clutch performance secured a 4-3 victory for Milwaukee, giving them a 2-0 lead in the series. The 22-year-old Chourio, who recently set the Brewers' all-time playoff home run record with a two-run blast, became only the second player in MLB history to deliver a postseason walk-off hit while his team trailed against a league-leading closer.
His walk-off homer came just a day after setting the Milwaukee franchise record with a postseason home run.
In the other NLDS matchup, the Atlanta Falcons' defense shone as they limited their opponents to just 21 turnovers and recorded a franchise-record 32 points off turnovers, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. Meanwhile, in the NFL, the Cleveland Chiefs continued their perfect season by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-31 in a thrilling game.
The young Chiefs' running back, Kenneth Walker III, rushed for a career-high 177 yards in the win. In other news, US soccer star Cavan Sullivan scored the youngest goal in MLS history, breaking his own record set by fellow 17-year-old Mathis Albert. The Pittsburgh Penguins, with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang leading the way, extended their record as the longest-tenured trio in North American sports.
Finally, Novak Djokovic broke Rafael Nadal's 31-match streak at the China Open, improving his own unbeaten record to 32-0 at the tournament.
