"CHICAGO -- Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a tiebreaking two-run single and the Chicago Cubs avoided a sweep by holding off the Milwaukee Brewers for a 4-3 victory in Game 3 of their NL Division Series on Wednesday. Crow-Armstrong's two-out swing was part of a four-run first inning for Chicago, continuing a wild trend. Michael Busch kicked off the rally by becoming the first player in major league history with multiple leadoff homers in a single postseason series."
"Looking to sweep their way to the franchise's first trip to the NL Championship Series since 2018, Milwaukee jumped in front in the first. With runners on first and second with one out, William Contreras hit a mile-high popup that Busch lost in the sun before it landed in the infield for a single. Sal Frelick followed with a sacrifice fly off Jameson Taillon."
