The Milwaukee Brewers play Game 2 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
The Brewers will be looking to build on their momentum after winning Game 1 by a 3-2 final score.
Jackson Chourio played a big role in the Brewers’ victory in Game 1. This is because he hit a two-run home run in the third inning that tied the game up at 2-2. This was also a historic moment for Chourio, as he is now the Brewers’ all-time playoff home run leader with five.
Now, Milwaukee has made a decision with Chourio after his historic game against San Diego.
