Final three outs- Brewers take care of business at home and lead NLDS 2-0 💼✨

Brandon Lockridge enters as a defensive replacement in left field for Milwaukee and Abner Uribe will try to shut things down for the Brewers tonight. We talked about the injury with Trevor McGill. Uribe, right after McGill went down, was four for four and save opportunities from late August till the end of the season. He's only allowed a run once in his last 17 appearances. His last 29 appearances spanned that month that McGill missed. ERA 0.62, so when they needed him most, he came through. Live arm, sinker slider. Doesn't get the call there. Two balls and a strike to Carson Kelly. A bullpen game for the Brewers. And the Cubs down to their final three outs. Cubs, six through nine hitters during the regular season, led all of baseball in OPS. They have yet to get a hit tonight. Foul tipped. They got Mike Estabrook just below the mask, I think, in the chest protector. Foul tip here from Kelly. No, no, right off the mask. Missed that completely. Umpires are tough, too. Got him! Devastating slider from Uribe. One gone in the night. After all those hard sliders, he throws a perfect hard sinker, he throws a perfect slider on that outside corner. And now Pete Crow Armstrong. 0 for 3 with two strikeouts. This series, the Brewers bullpen, has been virtually lights out. Three hits, only a run allowed. PCA down on strikes. Two gone in the night. Good hard slider down and in. And now the last hope for the Cubs is Dansby Swanson. How about that slider? He's got it on a string right now. That's why he was so strong at the end. Throws a hundred, can sink it, foreseem it. And a good hard slider. 0 and 2. Brewers pitchers have retired 14 in a row. One strike for a 2-0 series lead. Got him! Oribe strikes out the side in the night. And the Brewers have a stranglehold in this series. The Milwaukee magic keeps rolling. Scored all their seven runs with two outs. Their bullpen now, 10 in the two-thirds innings, 13 punch-outs, only one run allowed in the first two games. Jacob Mizorowski. Credited with the win in his post-season debut. This game could have really gone any which way but loose until Mizorowski came in for the Brewers, stabilized it, three scoreless innings. And the game seemed out of reach. Cubs never could make a comeback. 15 straight went down. They are brewing something special here in Milwaukee. 16 runs for the Brewers over the first two games of this series. Lauren Jabara down to the field. Thanks so much. Here with Jacob Mizorowski, your first post-season appearance. We saw so much emotion out of you. You stabilized this team, three shutout innings. What was it like for you out there? A lot of fun. It was just a lot of adrenaline and, you know, having fun here in the crowd. Are these moments that you dreamed of as a kid working up to this? Oh, 100%. Yeah, this is what it all comes to. It took seven arms to get it done tonight. What have you learned throughout this season just working with so many dynamic pitchers? Yeah, I mean, it's a whole team. It's not just one guy, you know. The whole bullpen out there has done a lot of work and, you know, you can't cut our teammates out in the infield doing their job too. I know that Pat calls this team a group of average Joes, but you're doing spectacular things right now. I mean, all seven runs were scored on the long ball with two outs. How special is this team and what makes this team so great? Yeah, it's amazing, you know. I think the biggest thing is we're all just friends and we're all just having a good time. And last but not least, how about the fans here, huh? Yeah, it's awesome. It's so awesome.
