Did the Brewers win last night? Yes — and in the kind of finish that can define a postseason, Milwaukee beat the Padres 4-3 in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday. Jackson Chourio delivered the decisive moment with a walk-off 2-RBI single, giving the Brewers one more win to reach the NLCS.
It was exactly the sort of result that keeps a playoff run alive and changes the feel of a series. The Brewers are now one win away from returning to the NLCS, and the significance goes even further: they still have a chance to reach the World Series for the second time.
Jackson Chourio delivers the decisive hit
Chourio’s hit came against one of the best closers in baseball, which only adds to the weight of the moment. The Brewers needed someone to come through when the pressure was at its highest, and the 22-year-old did exactly that.
That is the sort of swing that can define a series. Milwaukee have already produced multiple signature moments just two games into the postseason, and this one may be the biggest of them so far.
What the win means for Milwaukee
The scoreline says enough: 4-3, tight throughout, and decided at the end. For the Brewers, though, it is about more than just a single result. They now have the chance to close out the NLDS with one more win and keep alive the possibility of back-to-back seasons in the NLCS for the first time ever.
For San Diego, it is a missed opportunity in a game they were close to controlling. For Milwaukee, it is a reminder that in the postseason, one big swing can change everything.
So, did the Brewers win last night? They did — and they did it in the most dramatic way possible.
