Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs
· NLDS - Game 3
3 - 4
Cubs use 4-run 1st inning to top the Brewers 4-3 and avoid NL Division Series sweep
Crow-Armstrong's two-out swing was part of a four-run first inning for Chicago — continuing a wild trend. Michael Busch kicked off the rally by becoming the first player in major league history with multiple leadoff homers in a single postseason series.
The matchup of NL Central rivals is the first postseason series in which both teams scored in the first in each of the first three games.
Jake Bauers rallied Milwaukee with an RBI single in the fourth and a leadoff drive in the seventh. He started at first base in place of Andrew Vaughn, who hit a three-run homer in the Brewers' 7-3 victory in Game 2 on Monday night.
Milwaukee loaded the bases in the eighth, but Brad Keller escaped the jam when he struck out Bauers swinging. Keller then retired the side in order in the ninth for the save.
Game 4 of the best-of-five series is on Thursday night.
