This year the Brewers are moving forward,&#8221; highlighted reporter Adam McCalvy, after the victory that returns the club to the elite of the Old Circuit.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Timely Power and Dominant Pitching<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nWilliam Contreras opened the scoring with a solo home run in the third inning, followed by another hit from Andrew Vaughn that gave the definitive lead. Later, Brice Turang \u2014 who had had a complicated series \u2014 rounded out the victory with a safety home run.\n\nFrom the mound, the Brewers used <strong>five pitchers<\/strong> to complete the 27 outs, limiting the Cubs&#8217; offense to a single run. Young right-hander <strong>Jacob Misiorowski<\/strong>, who was key in the rotation, looked dominant by combining his powerful fastball with an effective mix of breaking pitches.\n\nMisiorowski pitched <strong>four solid innings<\/strong> with only three hits allowed, one run, and nine strikeouts, without issuing any walks. His fastball reached 101.4 mph, recording up to <strong>25 pitches over 162 km\/h<\/strong> between his two postseason appearances, a figure that places him among the fastest arms since 2008.\n\nStar closer <strong>Trevor Megill<\/strong> took on the role of opening the game as a luxury reliever, working a perfect first inning before giving way to the bullpen.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Triumph with a Taste of Revenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe victory had a special taste for Milwaukee fans, who still remembered the loss to the Dodgers in the 2018 Championship Series, when <strong>Craig Counsell<\/strong>, current manager of the Cubs, was the home manager of the Brewers.\n\nThe result not only meant eliminating their divisional rival from the <strong>Interstate 94<\/strong>, but also demonstrating the resilience and maturity of a team that has known how to reinvent itself with young talents and key pieces like <strong>Christian Yelich, Contreras and Turang<\/strong>.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next step: the Dodgers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nWith the series resolved 3-2 in their favor, the Brewers advance to face the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers<\/strong> in the National League Championship Series.<br><strong>Game 1<\/strong> is scheduled for <strong>Monday at 7:08 p.m. (Central Time)<\/strong>, again at <strong>American Family Field<\/strong>, broadcast on <strong>TBS, truTV, and HBO Max<\/strong>.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<strong>Final Score:<\/strong> Brewers 3 \u2013 Cubs 1<br><strong>Series:<\/strong> Brewers win 3-2<br><strong>Home Runs:<\/strong> Contreras (HR), Vaughn (HR), Turang (HR)<br><strong>Venue:<\/strong> American Family Field, Milwaukee<br><strong>Attendance:<\/strong> 42,743 spectators.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
