The decisive matchup drew 42,743 fans.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee broke the 1-1 tie and regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth, courtesy of Andrew Vaughn, the Brewers\u2019 offseason acquisition from the Chicago White Sox. Vaughn, a former No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft who had spent time in the minors earlier this season, showcased patience and power. Working a full count against Colin Rea, Vaughn fouled off a pitch before sending a hanging slider over the left-field wall, giving Milwaukee a 2-1 advantage. This was Vaughn\u2019s second home run of the NLDS, adding to an essential three-run homer in Game 2 that erased a three-run deficit.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers, who entered the series with MLB\u2019s best regular-season record, had won the first two games at home before dropping Games 3 and 4 at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n<p>Right-hander Trevor Megill, Milwaukee starter for Game 5, pitched a perfect first inning, retiring the side on 11 pitches and striking out Chicago slugger Kyle Tucker on a 99-mph fastball. Right out of the gate, William Contreras hammered a 3-2 pitch from Drew Pomeranz into center field for a solo homer, putting the Brewers on top 1-0 and turning the tables on a Cubs team that had been racking up 11 first-inning runs over four games.<\/p>\n<p>But the lead didn&#8217;t last for long. Rookie Jacob Misiorowski replaced Megill for bulk innings, and on the first pitch of the second, Chicago hitter Seiya Suzuki launched a 101.4-mph fastball for a solo homer, tying the score 1-1. This was Suzuki\u2019s second home run of the series and third of the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>All three runs in Game 5 have come via home runs so far.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brewers\u2019 Andrew Vaughn hit a clutch homer, giving Milwaukee a 2-1 lead in the winner-take-all NLDS Game 5 against the Cubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":106461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[290,44,66],"class_list":["post-106460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-milwaukee-brewers","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-playoffs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
