Misiorowski’s Impressive Performance on the Mound
Jacob Misiorowski, a 23-year-old rookie, made a statement with his powerful pitching during the middle innings, keeping the Cubs at bay and holding a sportsmanship that was praised by fans and teammates alike. His fastballs consistently hit speeds of 102 mph or more, which proved to be a significant obstacle for the Cubs, who have struck out 58 times in five playoff games, including 11 on Monday.
Brewers’ Success Fueled by Power Hitting
The Brewers’ offense was bolstered by three home runs in Game 2, further solidifying their lead. In addition to Chourio’s homer, Andrew Vaughn hit an impressive three-run shot, setting a formidable tone for Milwaukee early in the game.

Milwaukee Eyes NLCS as Series Shifts to Chicago
The Brewers, now one win away from their first NL Championship Series appearance since 2018, will hand the ball to right-hander Quinn Priester as the series continues at Wrigley Field. The Cubs, seeking a comeback, will rely on veteran Jameson Taillon, confident in his recent performances.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy and catcher William Contreras expressed confidence in their young stars’ potential, highlighting their enthusiasm and composure on the field. With Misiorowski likely to rest after his game-changing performance, all eyes will be on Priester to continue Milwaukee’s playoff success.
