Padres fall behind 0-2 to the Brewers in the NLDS; Game 3 Tuesday at Petco Park

The Padres head home in a hole. The Milwaukee Brewers won the first two games of the National League Division Series at American Family Field, 3-2 on Saturday, Oct. 3, and 4-3 on Sunday, Oct. 4, and lead the best-of-five series 2-0.

Game 1 slipped away despite an early 2-0 San Diego lead. Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer in the third inning and William Contreras added a solo shot in the seventh. The Padres left 12 runners on base, according to CBS Sports. In the ninth, Ty France crushed a ball that struck the roof or its support cables and was caught in the field of play by Chourio, which was ruled an out under ground rules.

Game 2 was another one-run loss. Michael King retired the first 14 batters he faced, NBC reported, but Milwaukee won it in the ninth when Chourio delivered a two-run single with the bases loaded, according to MLB.com. Closer Mason Miller took the loss.

Game 3 is Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 6:30 p.m. Pacific at Petco Park, with Nick Pivetta starting for San Diego against Dustin May. It airs on FS1. If the Padres win, Game 4 would be Wednesday, Oct. 7, in San Diego.
