The Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of their National League Division Series, taking a 2-0 series lead, according to MLB.com. Jackson Chourio delivered a walk-off single to seal the win, ESPN reports.
The Padres called on closer Mason Miller to record six outs in the loss, per MLB.com. USA Today describes the result as a dramatic walk-off against the San Diego ace closer.
San Diego's failure to extend its lead late in the game proved costly, MLB.com reports in a separate piece. Yahoo Sports notes the Brewers were down to their last strike before Chourio's hit, and quotes a participant in the game describing it as one of his favorite games to have been part of.
The loss leaves San Diego in a two-game hole in the best-of-five series, with the Brewers needing one more win to advance. The Padres' bullpen usage, including the extended outing for Miller, and their missed chances to add runs are the central storylines heading into Game 3.
San Diego now faces elimination in Game 3.
