Chourio's Walk-Off Stunner Puts Brewers One Win from NLCS

It was less a rally than a jailbreak. Down to their final strike against baseball's most overpowering closer, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled off a stunning 4-3 walk-off win over the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday — and 22-year-old Jackson Chourio played the hero.

San Diego carried a 3-2 lead into the ninth with a 98% win probability, handing the ball to Mason Miller, who had struck out 12 of his first 15 batters this postseason — an MLB record. But Miller lost the strike zone, walking the bases loaded, and Chourio pounced, lining a 101.3 mph fastball into center field to score Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick.

The Brewers are now one victory from the NLCS. Michael King's gem — retiring the first 14 Milwaukee hitters — went to waste, and San Diego faces elimination as the series shifts west.
