Overview

  • Jackson Chourio returned after right-hamstring tightness in Game 1 and crushed a 419-foot, three-run homer off Daniel Palencia from the leadoff spot.
  • Andrew Vaughn added a three-run shot and William Contreras hit a 411-foot solo homer, marking the first two three-run homers in Brewers postseason history.
  • Rookie Jacob Misiorowski earned the win with three scoreless relief innings, reaching at least 100 mph on 31 of 57 pitches and topping out at 104.3.
  • Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Chourio’s post-Game 1 MRI was inconclusive and noted the issue may limit him after a regular-season month lost to the same hamstring.
  • Chicago’s Seiya Suzuki opened with a three-run homer off opener Aaron Ashby, but Milwaukee’s bullpen held the Cubs to one hit over 7 1/3 shutout innings as the Brewers seized a 2-0 lead that historically advances most teams.
