Chourio’s late heroics lead Brewers over Cubs in Labor Day thriller

Jackson Chourio delivered a go-ahead single in the eighth inning as the Brewers rallied past the Cubs 4-2 on Labor Day. After Matthew Boyd pitched effectively through seven innings to keep Chicago ahead 2-1, the Brewers loaded the bases with two outs and Chourio drove in two runs with his clutch hit, with Christian Yelich adding an insurance run on a sacrifice fly. Luis Lara made a spectacular defensive play in the ninth to help Trevor Megill secure his 27th save, and Chourio made a diving catch in left field to end the game as the Brewers improved to 89 wins with their magic number to clinch the NL Central now at 10.
