No American League-based action took place on October 4, meaning the two NLDS series had all of the attention. San Diego nearly pushed the series back home tied at one. However, the Padres were unable to hold a late lead. Atlanta, meanwhile, did hold a lead, moving the series back home tied at one.

Chourio, Brewers go up 2-0

The Brewers won 4-3 to take Game 2, meaning that Milwaukee only needs one more win to advance to a second straight NLCS.

San Diego went in front early when Ty France hit an RBI single in the first. A Dustin Harris force out in the fifth made it 2-0, and France knocked another RBI single in the seventh. That made it 3-1, as Milwaukee was able to get one back via a Sal Frelick RBI single in the fifth inning.

Mason Miller was tasked with going two innings in Milwaukee. Miller tossed a scoreless eighth inning. But in the ninth, he walked Christian Yelich, Frelick, and Gary Sanchez to load the bases. Jackson Chourio walked it off with a two-run single that scored Yelich and Frelick.

The series switches to San Diego for Game 3 on October 6.

Braves chase Snell, win Game 2

Atlanta won 3-2 to force a 1-1 split with the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

The Braves were only able to score one run off Blake Snell. But Snell went just 3.2 IP, as the left-hander walked five and struck out five. Los Angeles needed to use seven pitchers in Game 2.

Michael Harris II scored on a wild pitch in the fifth from Kris Bubic to make it 2-1. Two innings later, Harris II drove in one with an RBI double, bringing home Matt Olson.

The lone runs for the Dodgers game off solo home runs. Freddie Freeman took his old team deep in the fourth, while Max Muncy hit a solo home run off Didier Fuentes in the ninth.

Atlanta will host Games 3 & 4, with the next game scheduled for the 6th.

What’s ahead?

As noted above, October 5 will be a travel day for the four remaining National League teams. The two ALDS series will resume on the 5th.
