6 Oct
Summary
- Brewers win Game 1 of NLDS against Cubs, 9-3
- Leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio back in Brewers lineup
- Brewers to start Ashby as opener, Priester likely to follow
In a matchup of the National League Division Series, the Milwaukee Brewers have taken a commanding lead over the Chicago Cubs. In the series opener last night, the Brewers bashed their way to a 9-3 victory, showcasing their offensive prowess.
The Brewers wasted no time, jumping on Cubs starter Matt Boyd early and building a substantial lead. This strong start was bolstered by the return of leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio, who had been sidelined for a month due to a right hamstring injury. Chourio's presence at the top of the order proved crucial, as the Brewers' offense continued to click throughout the game.
Looking ahead to Game 2, the Brewers will turn to left-hander Aaron Ashby as the opener, with right-hander Quinn Priester likely to follow. The Cubs, on the other hand, will counter with left-hander Shota Imanaga, hoping to even the series.
The Brewers' dominant performance in the series opener has set the tone, and they will look to build on this momentum as they aim to secure a spot in the next round of the playoffs.
