MILWAUKEE — Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski capped his playoff resurgence with a second dominant outing to help the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night in the decisive fifth game of the National League Division Series between Central Division rivals.
With both teams cobbling together a bullpen game, Misiorowski (2-0) allowed the Cubs’ only run on a homer by Seiya Suzuki, but the 23-year-old right-hander gave up just two singles in a four-inning stint for his second victory of the series.
The Brewers, who have the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage for the entire postseason, advanced to host the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, which begins Monday.
