The Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres play through a tightly contested NLDS, with the Brewers winning Game 2 after a ninth-inning comeback. Multiple reports describe Jackson Chourio delivering a two-run hit with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to complete a 4-3 Brewers victory and push Milwaukee to a 2-0 series lead. The key moment comes off Padres closer Mason Miller, who enters with a one-run advantage.
Outlets also note the closeness of the matchup and the recurring late-game drama. One report adds that Miller tries to secure his first six-out save since 2024. However, the storyline shifts in Game 3, where the Padres win 4-3 to reduce the Brewers’ advantage to 2-1. Coverage characterizes both series games as low-scoring and decided in the late innings, with Milwaukee and San Diego each finding ways to manufacture late opportunities.
