When bringing up the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>‘ postseason chances, a logical argument against them is that they don’t hit enough home runs.<\/p>\n

In Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs<\/a>, the home team showed no power shortage.<\/p>\n

Down 3-0 in the first inning, the Brewers hit three home runs in the first four innings for seven runs overall during their 7-3 victory, taking a 2-0 series lead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two of the home runs were of the three-run variety. Andrew Vaughn’s blast with two men on in the bottom of the first inning off of Shota Imanaga tied the game at 3-3, and William Contreras followed with a solo blast<\/a> in the third inning to give the Brewers a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n

In the fourth inning, outfielder Jackson Chourio, who was a game-time decision due to a tight hamstring, turned around a 101-mph fastball from Chicago’s Danny Palencia for another three-run shot to give the Brewers a significant advantage. All three round-trippers were hit with two outs.<\/p>\n
