For the second consecutive game in the NLDS, the Cubs began things with a big home run. Much like the previous affair, however, things went downhill rapidly after that. The Brewers stormed back quickly with a couple of three-run homers, which eventually led to a victory that put Chicago on the brink of elimination Monday night.
Nico Hoerner singled and Kyle Tucker walked to put two on with one out against Aaron Ashby in the top of the 1st inning. Seiya Suzuki stepped up to the plate and crushed a three-run homer into the second deck in left field that put the North Siders in front 3-0.
