Overview

• Three two-out solo homers provided all Milwaukee's runs: William Contreras in the first, Andrew Vaughn for the lead in the fourth, and Brice Turang for insurance in the seventh.
• Trevor Megill opened before rookie Jacob Misiorowski delivered four strong innings, with Aaron Ashby, Chad Patrick and Abner Uribe completing a combined four-hitter.
• Chicago managed only four hits and failed to cash in a two-on, none-out chance in the sixth as the offense faded late.
• Milwaukee advanced to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, with NLCS Game 1 scheduled for Monday at American Family Field.
• The victory marked the Brewers' first postseason series win since 2018 and eliminated Cubs manager Craig Counsell at his former home ballpark.
