Summary
Milwaukee grabbed a 4-3 Game 2 win when Jackson Chourio lined a two-run single with two outs in the ninth, scoring Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick after the Brewers were down to their final strike.
Mason Miller, trying for a six-out save on three days’ rest, lost command in the ninth and walked the bases loaded before Chourio beat him after fouling off a 103.5 mph fastball.
Three Brewers errors still did not stop a second straight comeback victory, as Logan Henderson worked into the sixth and four relievers followed with four innings while allowing only one earned run.
San Diego now returns home needing three straight wins to survive, though the Padres have won 28 of their past 34 games at Petco Park ahead of a potentially deciding Game 3.
