After watching the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners battle it out for fifteen innings in the final game of their American League Division Series, we were treated to another Game 5, this time in the National League between the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers.
For the occasion, Drew Pomeranz took to the mound for the Bears, while Trevor Megill did the same for the Brewers in a bullpen day for both teams.
And Milwaukee got off to a good start, with William Contreras sending the Apple's offering over the fence in the first inning. However, Seiya Suzuki put things right in the same way against Jacob Misiorowski in the following half inning.
Then, at the end of the fourth set, Andrew Vaughn broke the tie at one-all with a long ball at Colin Rea's expense. Brice Turang added another in the same way against Andrew Kittredge in the seventh and that was that for the Windy City representatives, with Abener Uribe closing the door in the last two sets.
