The Milwaukee Brewers had the best record in baseball during the regular season – and in their first game of the postseason, they showed why. Jumping on Chicago Cubs starter Matt Boyd early, the Brew Crew bashed their way to a 9-3 victory in the best-of-five National League Division Series.
The Cubs will try to rebound in Game 2 Monday night in Milwaukee with left-hander Shota Imanaga (9-8, 3.73 ERA in regular season) on the mound. The Brewers will counter with lefty reliever Aaron Ashby serving as the opener and right-hander Quinn Priester (13-3, 3.32) likely following him.
The Brewers have leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio back in the lineup after he tweaked his right hamstring in the series opener legging out an infield single. It was the same injury that caused him to miss a month of action during the regular season.
What time is Cubs vs Brewers?
The second game of the National League Division Series doubleheader begins at 9:08 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 6, at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
