Brewers’ Unstoppable Sweep Sparks Epic Beer Shower Celebration—You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!
Let me set the stage for how this series has gone: In Game 1, the Cubs led off with a solo homer. First batter of a series against a team that has struggled in the playoffs, and the Cubs go and hit a homer to give themselves a first inning, first batter lead. Milwaukee comes to bat in the bottom half of the inning and drops six runs on the Cubs’ heads. Sure, there was an error, but the Brewers were hitting everything in sight. What was most impressive was that there was no homer to save the day for the Brewers; they were just hitting nonstop. Good for them. The Cubs added a couple of solo shots in the sixth and eighth innings, but it wasn’t enough. They lost 9-3. In Game 2, the Cubs had two of the first three hitters reach base. Seiya Suzuki came up in the four-hole and blasted a shot to deep right. It was a no-doubt homer, and for the second straight game, the Cubs not only hit a first-inning home run, but they took a lead. The bottom of the 1st started off as well as you could’ve hoped if you were a Chicago supporter. Starter Shota Imanaga struck out his first two hitters. Then the Brewers got a single to left. Then another single to left. Then Andrew Vaughn stepped up and hit a towering homer to left. Tie game. From there, the Cubs didn’t score again, and the Brewers rode that momentum to another homer in the third and yet another three-run homer in the fourth. Game over. Brewers up 2-0 and one win away from the National League Championship Series.
