Brewers Lead Cubs 2-0 With Historic Postseason Home Runs

The Milwaukee Brewers have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in their 2025 National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs after a 7-3 victory marked by historic power hitting. Both teams made postseason history by hitting three-run homers in the first inning, with Cubs' Seiya Suzuki and Brewers' Andrew Vaughn setting the tone early. Brewers' young stars shone brightly, as 21-year-old Jackson Chourio hit a historic three-run home run off a 101.4 mph pitch, becoming the youngest player with three postseason homers in his first five games, while rookie Jacob Misiorowski impressed on the mound with three scoreless innings featuring pitches exceeding 100 mph. Milwaukee's offense was fueled entirely by home runs, contributing to their dominant performance, while the Cubs struggled to sustain momentum despite an early lead. As the series shifts to Wrigley Field for Game 3, the Brewers are poised to advance to their first NL Championship Series since 2018, while the Cubs face the challenge of overcoming Milwaukee's powerful offense to stay alive in the series.
