Brewers 7-3 Cubs (Oct. 6, 2025) Summary

Milwaukee (AP)-Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio each shot a three-run homer, William Contreras added a solo home run and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-3 on Monday night to stay at a victory of a trip to the National League championship series.

The Brewers have a 2-0 advantage in the division series to the best of five, which moves to the Wrigley Field in Chicago for the third game on Wednesday. The teams that go to the front 2-0 in a postseason series to the best of five have won 80 of 90 times, including 54 sweeps.

Milwaukee is trying to win a postseason series for the first time since 2018, when he reached the seventh of the National League Championship series.

Vaughn and Chourio connected the first two homes of three races in the history of the Breweers postseason. The solo quadrangular of Contreras in the third entry broke a 3-3 draw.

Chicago’s toletero, Seiya Suzuki hit his own three -run homer, a 440 feet hit to the garden between the left and central in the first entrance against Aaron Ashby. After leaving the bullpen in 42 of its 43 appearances in the regular season, Ashby served as a starter in this game.

But the Cubs did not write down again. Nick Mears, Jacob Misiorowski, Chad Patrick, Jared Koenig, Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe combined to work seven tickets and a third relay without allowing races in which they only allowed an unstoppable.

Misiorowski entered the third and launched three tickets without allowing races to win the game, reaching at least 100 miles per hour in 31 of his 57 pitches. Each of the first eight rookie releases exceeded at least 102.6 mph, and reached a maximum of 104.3.

While Misiorowski was on, Shota Imanaga, from Chicago, was off.

Twice in the first three tickets, Imanaga withdrew the first two batters before getting into problems that resulted in a home run. Imanaga has allowed multiple home runs in six of its last eight appearances.

Vaughn tied the game in the lower part of the first with a hit on the fence of the left garden after Contreras and Christian Yelich connected singles with two outs. According to the MLB, this was the first playoff game in which each team connected a three -run homer in the first entrance.

Contreras then hit a 411 feet plank to the left garden with two outs in the third.

Vaughn’s hit in the first entrance marked the first time the Brewers connected a three -run homer or a Grand Slam in the postseason. They obtained their second only three tickets later, when the Venezuelan Chourio connected his 419 feet hit against his compatriot Daniel Palencia.

Chourio returned to the first place in the order after a stiffness in the tendon of the right corva forced him to leave at the second entry of Milwaukee 9-3 in the first game on Saturday.
