The Milwaukee Brewers enter Monday's late-night contest against the Chicago Cubs, with a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five National League Division Series. The lead is courtesy of an emphatic Game 1 win, in which the Brew Crew plated nine runs in the first two innings before coasting to a 9-3 victory.
Even more impressive than the Brewers scoring a cool nine runs in the first two innings was the fact that Milwaukee did so without the aid of a home run. Entering the postseason, the dominating rhetoric from Milwaukee's critics was that the team doesn't hit enough home runs to compete in the playoffs.
