On Wednesday night, Milwaukee Brewers secured an epic 5-3 win against New York Mets thanks to outstanding performances by Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell – leading their side into Game 3 of NL Wild Card Series tied 1-1! Bringing their National League Wild Card Series finale closer than ever!
Milwaukee Brewers Eye An Historic Comeback The Milwaukee Brewers are on the cusp of making history. If they prevail in Sunday’s Wild Card Series game after losing game one, history would be made. Mitchell expressed confidence in their team’s readiness to do what is necessary in order to prevail and said they’re determined to put aside past frustrations to come out victorious this time around.
Trailing by one run in the eighth inning, Chourio delivered his second home run of the evening, bringing the score even against Mets’ pitcher Phil Maton. Impressively, Chourio had also kick-started the Brewers’ scoring with a homer in the first inning against Sean Manaea, becoming the youngest player to achieve such a milestone in postseason history.
Critical Eighth Inning Rallies Brewers to Victory The inning continued with significant plays, including a vital single by Willy Adames, setting the stage for Mitchell’s decisive 390-foot home run that electrified the American Family Field crowd. Mitchell revealed his approach was not to hit a home run but rather to make a meaningful play, a mindset that evidently paid off.
While the Mets had closer Edwin Díaz ready, he was not called upon for more than an inning. The Brewers capitalized on this, and Devin Williams closed the ninth inning flawlessly, securing the save, with Joe Ross taking the win after 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Young Talent Shines as Brewers Aim for Series Win Chourio, just behind Andruw Jones as the youngest to hit two home runs in a postseason game, showed exceptional poise, contributing significantly over two games. His performance has placed the Brewers tantalizingly close to their first postseason series win since 2018.
As both teams prepare to battle it out in Thursday’s decisive matchup, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso expressed optimism despite their setback, underscoring how essential resilience and competition is in playoff baseball.
Game 3 promises an exhilarating end, pitting Milwaukee rookie RHP Tobias Myers against New York Mets LHP Jose Quintana for an exciting and riveting conclusion of this series.
