Milwaukee hit three homers and got a key bullpen appearance from rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who earned his first postseason win.

Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio each hit three-run homers and six Milwaukee relievers combine to hold the Cubs to one hit over 7⅓ shutout innings in a 7-3 win. Game 3 is Wednesday in Chicago.

Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio each hit a three-run homer, William Contreras added a solo shot, and the Brewers moved one win away from a trip to the National League Championship Series.

Its Monday, October 6 and baseball’s playoffs continue as the Cubs (92-70) are in Milwaukee to take on the Brewers (97-65) in Game 2 of their National League Division Series. Shota Imanaga is slated to take the mound for Chicago against Aaron Ashby for Milwaukee.

After falling behind 1-0 on a leadoff home run by Michael Busch to open the game, the Brewers regathered and dominated from there. Milwaukee pieced together three consecutive doubles to begin their half of the first inning and by the time the second rolled around, the Brewers held a comfortable 6-1 advantage.

The timing of rookie Cade Horton's trip to the injured list shortly before the postseason left the possibility open that he might be able to return if the National League Division Series went the distance.
