Chourio and Misiorowski SHINE: Brewers close to Championship Series

Chourio and Misiorowski Shine in Brewers’ Victory

Milwaukee is one step away from the National League Championship Series, thanks to the stellar performance of its young stars, Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski, who led the Brewers to a crucial victory over the Cubs. In a night full of emotions, the young gardener Chourio hit an impressive home run against a 101.4 mph fastball from reliever Daniel Palencia, driving in three runs and consolidating the Brewers’ lead.

He’s a star. For me, I think he’s the best player we have here.

Chourio’s hit not only demonstrated his power, but also made him the youngest player in MLB history to hit three home runs in his first five postseason games.

For his part, right-handed pitcher Jacob Misiorowski dazzled with his speed, reaching 102 mph on his pitches and keeping the Cubs’ offense at bay for three key innings. Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised Misiorowski’s composure and performance, highlighting his ability to remain calm under pressure. With this victory, the Brewers are approaching the National League Championship Series, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2018. The next game will take place at Wrigley Field, where the Brewers will seek to secure their place in the next round.
