The Milwaukee Brewers took a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five National League Division Series.

Jackson Chourio was the hero, and by far the biggest winner, as his clutch two-strike, two-out single led the Brewers to a 4-3 victory against the San Diego Padres.

Mason Miller, who many consider the greatest closer in the game, allowed a trio of ninth-inning walks, and the Padres' decision to keep him out there for two innings backfired in a big way.

Now, both teams have a day off before this series gets serious. Milwaukee knows they just need to win one more game to advance to their second straight NLCS, but even if they can't pull out a win at Petco Park, this series will return to American Family Field for Game 5.

There's no conversation to be had here; the Brewers don't win this game without Chourio. Obviously, they needed quite a bit of help from Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick, and Gary Sanchez, who all drew walks against Miller, but Chourio put the final nail in the coffin.

Miller threw a season-high 40 pitches, so his status for Tuesday, Oct. 6 could even be up in the air. It'll depend on how that game is going, and it's already been confirmed that Game 3 will put Dustin May against Nick Pivetta. 

He may still be lacking that signature postseason moment, but Yelich is the reason the Brewers were able to put an end to Michael King's no-hitter.

Manager Pat Murphy threw him in the Game 1 lineup, even though the lefty was going up against left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray.

Yelich, the team's first-ever captain, went 1-for-3 with two runs and a walk here in Game 2. 

Without Yelich's hit against King, it's anyone's guess as to how long he could've stayed in the game. Then, he didn't let Garrett Mitchell's groundout phase him as he drew a one-out walk against Miller to get the rally started.

Knowing the Padres scored 12 runs in the Wild Card round, it's crazy to think they've been held to five runs in the first two games of the NLDS.

Logan Henderson walked more batters (3) than he allowed hits (2), and only one of the two runs he allowed in his five innings was earned.

Milwaukee's defense committed three errors, so they were no help to this pitching staff.

Murphy trusted his best relievers, and it was the trio of Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill who pitched in back-to-back games, proving exactly why this team has World Series expectations.
