The Milwaukee Brewers are making the types of mistakes at the plate that they avoided while producing the best regular-season record in the major leagues.

With the bases loaded and Game 1 of the NLCS on the line Monday, Brice Turang saw a baseball hurled in his direction at 85 mph and made the reasonable, reactive decision. He got out of the way.

The Milwaukee Brewers appeared to be in a world of hurt in the top of the fourth, with the bases loaded and just one out against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Max Muncy took a ball deep to center field and it looked like it was going to be a grand slam – and a deep hole for the Brewers.

The Chicago Cubs were eliminated from the National League Division Series with a 3–1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road Saturday in a win-or-go-home Game 5.

Pat Murphy and the Brewers' resiliency will be further tested as they face a 2-0 deficit against the Dodgers in the NLCS.

On the play in question, Hernández was thrown at out the plate after Frelick gathered the ball and rifled it to the cutoff man, Joey Ortiz. Hernández should have left third base the moment the ball hit Frelick's glove, but he remained on the base for far too long, enabling the defense to throw him out at home.

How's a list of these five names sound? Mickey Mantle, Andruw Jones, Bryce Harper, Miguel Cabrera and Juan Soto. Make it six with Chourio. The feat: At least four postseason home runs through their age-21 season, with the grouping shared on X by @JayHayKid.

The Milwaukee Brewers are off to the NLCS after a thrilling 3-1 win over the Cubs in the decisive fifth game of the NLDS.
