Chourio Delivers Walk-Off Hit: Milwaukee Beats San Diego to Take 2-0 Lead in Division Series

The Milwaukee Brewers pulled off a thrilling comeback in Major League Baseball's (MLB) postseason, putting themselves on the brink of advancing to the League Championship Series.

Hosting the San Diego Padres at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for Game 2 of the National League Division Series (NLDS, best-of-five) on October 5 (KST), the Brewers secured a 4-3 comeback victory powered by Jackson Chourio's walk-off hit.

With two consecutive wins, Milwaukee now needs just one more victory in the remaining three games to reach the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

San Diego led for the majority of Game 2.

San Diego opened the scoring in the top of the first inning with an RBI single by Ty France, and extended their lead to 2-0 in the top of the fifth with an RBI groundout by Dustin Harris with one out and runners on first and third.

Milwaukee answered in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI single to left by Sal Frelick.

In the top of the seventh, San Diego stretched its lead to 3-1 once again on an RBI single by France, but Milwaukee closed the gap to 2-3 in the bottom of the inning capitalizing on an error.

Protecting a one-run lead, San Diego brought in closer Mason Miller starting in the eighth inning.

However, Milwaukee loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth after drawing three walks.

Step up to the plate with a chance to win the game, Chourio smashed a 101.3 mph (approx. 163 km/h) fastball from Miller for a two-run, bullet-like single to center field, dramatically turning the game around.

Game 3 of the NLDS between Milwaukee and San Diego will take place on October 7 in San Diego following a day of rest.
