Overview

• Milwaukee defeated Chicago 9-3 in Game 1 behind a six-run first inning and 13 hits without a home run.
• Jackson Chourio went 3-for-3 with three RBIs in the first two innings, becoming the first MLB player with three hits that early in a postseason game.
• Chourio exited with right hamstring stiffness in the same leg that sidelined him in July, and manager Pat Murphy called the MRI inconclusive with no significant tear.
• Chourio did light running during Sunday's workout and remains uncertain for Monday, with Isaac Collins the likely fill-in if he cannot go.
• Freddy Peralta struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings to tie the Brewers' postseason single-game record, and Game 2 is Monday with Aaron Ashby opening against Shota Imanaga.
