Chourio, Mears help the Brewers beat the Padres 3-1 to avoid a 3-game sweep

Jackson Chourio robbed Xander Bogaerts of a three-run home run in the first inning and Nick Mears got Luis Arraez to fly out to center to end a bases-loaded threat in the seventh as the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers beat the playoff-bound San Diego Padres 3-1 on Wednesday to avoid a three-game sweep. Brice Turang singled in Chourio with the go-ahead run with two outs in the seventh inning and Danny Jansen had a solo homer in the ninth. The Padres entered the day trailing the Chicago Cubs by 1 1/2 games in the race for the National League’s top wild-card spot and the right to host a best-of-three series starting Tuesday.
