MILWAUKEE — OK, so the Brewers got off to a halfway decent start in their best-of-five National League Division Series against the Cubs.

Back-to-back-to-back doubles by Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang and William Contreras out of the chute. A walk for Andrew Vaughn. An error on a routine play by Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner that led to four unearned runs. The fans at American Family Field booing and jeering at native son Craig Counsell so loudly as he walked to the mound to yank Cubs starter Matthew Boyd, the manager might as well have had “Benedict Arnold” stitched across the back of his jersey.
