The Milwaukee Brewers kept their postseason hopes alive, coming from behind to defeat the New York Mets 5-3 on Wednesday.

Milwaukee entered the eighth inning trailing 3-2 before Jackson Chourio hit his second home run of the game to tie the contest.

Four batters later, Garrett Mitchell hit a go-ahead, two-run blast for an eventual Brewers victory.

Chourio, who also caught the final out of Game 2, is the second player in major-league history to hit two game-tying homers in a postseason contest, according to Opta Stats.

The other player was Babe Ruth during Game 4 of the 1928 World Series.

Game 3 between the Mets and Brewers takes place Thursday at 8:38 p.m. ET at American Family Field.

The winner advances to the NLDS to play the Philadelphia Phillies.
