Chourio, Contreras Home Runs Lift Brewers to Game 1 Win over Padres
Jackson Chourio and William Contreras homered as Milwaukee’s bullpen protected a one-run lead and San Diego went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
- On Saturday, the Milwaukee Brewers secured a 3-2 comeback victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, with All-Star catcher William Contreras hitting the go-ahead home run in the seventh inning.
- Jackson Chourio tied the game in the third inning with a 420-foot home run at 113.3 mph, marking his fifth career postseason homer and matching Kyle Schwarber and Juan Soto for postseason homers before age 23.
- Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski lasted four innings while Padres starter Robbie Ray exited after 2.2 frames, forcing both teams into bullpen reliance; San Diego left 12 men on base throughout the contest.
