Milwaukee, WI
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Sunday, successfully avoiding a sweep in their recent series. This victory not only marked the Brewers’ 96th win of the season, tying the franchise record, but also lowered their magic number to clinch home-field advantage throughout the postseason to just one.
Key player Jackson Chourio played a crucial role in the win. In the first inning, he made a spectacular catch in center field, robbing Padres’ Xander Bogaerts of a potential three-run home run. Chourio then recorded a single in the seventh inning, stole second base, and later scored on Brice Turang’s single, pushing the Brewers ahead 2-1.
In addition to Chourio’s contributions, Danny Jansen added insurance for the Brewers with a solo home run in the ninth inning, extending the team’s lead to 3-1. Abner Uribe closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning, earning his sixth save of the season.
Game Highlights
Chad Patrick started for the Brewers, delivering three shutout innings as he stepped in for Quinn Priester, who was pushed back a few days. Five relievers combined to pitch the final six innings of the game, displaying a strong collective performance. Notably, Nick Mears escaped a tough bases-loaded, one-out situation in the bottom of the seventh inning, ensuring the Brewers maintained their lead.
The Brewers initially struggled offensively, failing to capitalize on a bases-loaded, one-out opportunity in the third inning. However, the game shifted when Jackson Merrill of the Padres hit an opposite-field home run in the fourth inning, which tied the game at 1-1. Following this, the Brewers regained the lead with their concerted efforts in the seventh inning.
Roster Changes and Upcoming Games
Before the matchup, Milwaukee made notable roster changes, recalling right-hander Carlos Rodriguez from Class AAA Nashville and designating left-hander Bruce Zimmermann for assignment. The Brewers are set to face the Cincinnati Reds in their next game on September 26, where Quinn Priester is projected to start.
Chourio had previously been struggling, entering the game with a 3-for-24 batting average on the road trip. His impact in this game, particularly in scoring and defensively, reflected a pivotal turnaround that helped secure the win for the Brewers.
