What happened: Jackson Chourio delivered the Game 2 winner with Milwaukee down to its final strike. It stands as the fifth last-strike walk-off in postseason history, most recently done in 2022.

Why it matters: Milwaukee moves within one win of the NLCS in a best-of-five series. Only four prior last-strike walk-offs exist across postseason history, marking the at-bat as an outlier.

By the numbers: 5th career postseason home run, a Brewers Chourio is 22 years old. Milwaukee leads the NLDS 2-0.

What to watch: Game 3 offers Milwaukee a closeout chance for the NLCS. Starting pitching plans set the next leverage point.
