Overview

• Solo home runs from William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn and Brice Turang provided all of Milwaukee’s scoring in the winner-take-all clincher.
• The Brewers executed a bullpen plan as Trevor Megill opened with a perfect first before rookie Jacob Misiorowski steadied four innings after allowing a second-inning homer.
• Five Milwaukee pitchers combined to hold Chicago to one run on four hits with one walk and eight strikeouts in the 3-1 victory.
• Misiorowski earned the win and, per OptaSTATS as reported by ClutchPoints, became the second rookie to win his first two postseason relief appearances without a start.
• Top-seeded Milwaukee, which led MLB with 97 regular-season wins, advances after the Cubs forced Game 5 and will host the NLCS opener against the defending champion Dodgers on Monday at American Family Field.
