BREWERS CELEBRATING WIN STORY: Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn each belted a three-run homer to rally the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday (October 6) night for a 2-0 lead in the National League Division Series between Central Division rivals. Chourio, who was questionable after leaving the first game with a hamstring issue, put the Brewers in front 7-3 with a two-out shot to center off Daniel Palencia in the fourth. Caleb Durbin, who was hit by a pitch an NL-high 24 times during the regular season, was plunked with one out and Joey Ortiz singled with two outs. William Contreras put the Brewers up 4-3 with a two-out solo homer in the third off Chicago starter Shota Imanaga. Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who made the All-Star team after just five major league starts but slumped badly in the second half, got the win with three innings of scoreless relief. Misiorowski (1-0) allowed one hit and walked two, striking out four of the 12 batters he faced. Brewers’ reliever Abner Uribe secured the save with a dominant ninth inning. The teams traded three-run homers in the first inning. Nico Hoerner singled with one out in the top half and Kyle Tucker walked. Seiya Suzuki then crushed a 1-1 pitch from spot starter Aaron Ashby 440 feet to left to make it 3-0. The Brewers answered in the bottom half, all with two outs. Contreras and Christian Yelich hit back-to-back singles, and Vaughn sent a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left for his first homer since August 15. Game Three of the best-of-five series is scheduled for Wednesday in Chicago. Milwaukee, which won the NLDS opener 9-3 on Saturday, finished five games ahead of the Cubs in the division during the regular season with a franchise-record 97 victories. The Brewers have the number one overall seed and home-field advantage for the entire postseason. The Brewers are in the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons but have not won a playoff series since the 2018 NLDS.  (Production: Bhagya Ayyavoo) More MLB content is available on Reuters Connect here: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?sources=mlbimagen (The article has been published through a syndicated feed.
