Milwaukee Brewers one win away from advancing to MLB Championship Series

The GIST: A weekend of best-of-five MLB Divisional Series matchups later, and one team is already one win away from the Championship Series. From yesterday’s National League (NL) Game 2s to today’s American League (AL) Game 2s, let’s go around the horn.

🫨 Milwaukee Brewers up 2-0 after walk-off 4–3 win over San Diego Padres: This is what Jackson Chourio does. The Brewers left fielder was oh-so clutch yesterday, recording a walk-off single against the Padres’ lockdown closer Mason Miller. The series shifts to San Diego for tomorrow’s 9:30 p.m. ET Game 3 — time will tell if the Dads can rally from this brutal defeat.

🍑 Atlanta Braves bullpen quiets LA Dodgers in 3–2 victory: This series is all tied up after Atlanta used six different hurlers to counter the hot Dodgers bats last night. Former 7-Eleven employee Ray Kerr started things strong, striking out four in 2.2 innings. Next up, a real treat: Atlanta ace Chris Sale vs. LA star Yoshinobu Yamamoto tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET. Batter up.

🙏 Chicago White Sox vs. 🛡️ Cleveland Guardians — Today at 5 p.m. ET: The White Sox are livin’ on a prayer, staying undefeated in the postseason with their 3–0 Game 1 win. Chicago pitcher Sean “no girl” Burke will feature heavily in Game 2, hoping to quiet an outfielder Chase DeLauter–led Cleveland offense that’s looking to erupt.

🍎 NY Yankees vs. 🌴 Tampa Bay Rays — Tonight at 8 p.m. ET: Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen just missed out on a no-hitter, but he did lift Tampa Bay to the series lead, striking out 10 Yankees in Saturday’s 1-0 Game 1 win. Now, it’s NY’s turn to toss their ace, with AL Cy Young frontrunner Cam Schlittler on the mound tonight. Must-see TV.
