The Brewers and Cubs will play a winner-take-all Game 5 on Saturday in Milwaukee.

Hell yeah.

Michael Busch has homered four times in the playoffs. That's tied for the most by a Cubs hitter through seven games in a single postseason, along with:

Kyle Schwarber, 2015
Alex Gonzalez, 2003

Kyle Tucker crushes his first Cubs postseason home run to pad Chicago's lead.

We're getting close to winner-take-all games between the Mariners-Tigers on Friday and the Cubs-Brewers on Saturday.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

That was the first postseason series in history to end on a walkoff error.

What a crushing way for any team to end a season.

Bill Buckner might come to mind, but that was only Game 6.

Wow. Ian Happ takes Freddy Peralta deep for a three-run homer in the first inning.

The baseball is good right now.

God, this game RULES.

Roki Sasaki has faced 14 batters in the postseason. He hasn't allowed a run, has allowed just one baserunner (a double) and has struck out four batters.

He's looked dynamic.

Amazing plate appearance from Mookie Betts to draw the game-tying run with a bases loaded walk.

These specific pitches from Jhoan Duran weren’t easy to lay off.

Mookie’s plate appearance against Duran.

Incredible play from Trea Turner, who had an excellent defensive season at shortstop for the Phillies.

Nick Castellanos has looked like the worst baseball player I've ever seen this series, apart from two enormously clutch doubles

This is the third time in Phillies postseason history they’ve held their opponent scoreless through six innings in a game facing elimination, joining:

1993 WS G5, Curt Schilling
1976 NLCS G3, Jim Kaat

Nick Castellanos puts the first run of the game on the board and gives the Phillies a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the seventh inning.

Tyler Glasnow is eighth Dodgers pitcher with 6+ scoreless innings in a potential series-clinching postseason game.

The last to do it was Clayton Kershaw in Game 2 of the 2020 NL Wild Card Series against the Brewers.

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 6h

Tyler Glasnow's elevated fastballs (with the usual postseason bump in velo) coupled with the late-afternoon shadows have been an absolute nightmare for Phillies hitters so far.

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 6h

I don't know how any hitter ever makes contact with Cristopher Sánchez's changeup. That pitch is unbelievable.
