The Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 series lead over the San Diego Padres and can secure an NLDS sweep in Game 3 on Tuesday in San Diego. Milwaukee claimed consecutive one-run victories at home thanks to late ninth-inning heroics from Jackson Chourio, including a game-winning two-run single against Padres closer Mason Miller in Game 2.
