VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS OF GAME TWO BETWEEN MILWAUKEE BREWERS AND CHICAGO CUBS IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES COMPLETE SCRIPT TO FOLLOW SHOWS: MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 6, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions before use) SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW STORY: Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn each belted a three-run homer to rally the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday (October 6) night for a 2-0 lead in the National League Division Series between Central Division rivals. Chourio, who was questionable after leaving the first game with a hamstring issue, put the Brewers in front 7-3 with a two-out shot to center off Daniel Palencia in the fourth. Caleb Durbin, who was hit by a pitch an NL-high 24 times during the regular season, was plunked with one out and Joey Ortiz singled with two outs. William Contreras put the Brewers up 4-3 with a two-out solo homer in the third off Chicago starter Shota Imanaga. Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who made the All-Star team after just five major league starts but slumped badly in the second half, got the win with three innings of scoreless relief. Misiorowski (1-0) allowed one hit and walked two, striking out four of the 12 batters he faced. The teams traded three-run homers in the first inning. Nico Hoerner singled with one out in the top half and Kyle Tucker walked. Seiya Suzuki then crushed a 1-1 pitch from spot starter Aaron Ashby 440 feet to left to make it 3-0. The Brewers answered in the bottom half, all with two outs. Contreras and Christian Yelich hit back-to-back singles, and Vaughn sent a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left for his first homer since Aug. 15. Game 3 of the best-of-five series is scheduled for Wednesday in Chicago. Milwaukee, which won the NLDS opener 9-3 on Saturday, finished five games ahead of the Cubs in the division during the regular season with a franchise-record 97 victories. The Brewers have the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage for the entire postseason. The Brewers are in the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons but have not won a playoff series since the 2018 NLDS.

By Maggie Fick and Soren Jeppesen LONDON/COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Wegovy-maker Novo Nordisk has laid off dozens of employees at the largest U.S. manufacturing site for its blockbuster obesity and diabetes drugs, a Reuters review of LinkedIn posts showed, a signal of where it is making cuts in a major restructuring under new CEO Mike Doustdar. The previously unreported cuts included staff in manufacturing roles, from quality control to production line technicians, at Novo's major Clayton, North Carolina, plant and other facilities in the state, an analysis of 73 posts and profiles show. The layoffs, while only a small part of a planned 9,000 job cuts globally, underscore how Novo is cutting back even on frontline production in the top market for Wegovy as it looks to sharpen its focus, trim costs, and claw back lost ground in fierce competition with rival Eli Lilly. The cuts, which follow earlier ones focused on the obesity education team in the U.S., come as the administration of President Donald Trump pressures pharmaceutical companies to expand U.S. drug production and create more domestic jobs. The Danish drugmaker last year became Europe's most valuable listed company on unprecedented demand for weight-loss drugs before a sharp share price slide as sales growth slowed. It is now trying to turn around its fortunes and reduce costs and staff that bloated as it rode the Wegovy boom. A Novo spokesperson declined a Reuters request for further details beyond last month's global layoffs announcement. "This process takes time and our highest priority is to support our employees," the spokesperson said. PLANT MAKES WEGOVY, OZEMPIC The announced wider cuts helped boost Novo's shares, though the company has provided little detail about its plans. It said around 5,000 jobs would be cut in its native Denmark. The North Carolina cuts hit technical manufacturing workers, project coordinators, a strategic communications manager and an HR assistant, the posts revealed. Of the total, 47 directly posted they were looking for work or had been laid off. Novo's Clayton facility makes semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and diabetes drug Ozempic. It also does manufacturing steps including filling, finishing and packaging the injections. It also will play a key role in producing the new pill version of Wegovy once that becomes available. CEO Doustdar this month heralded an ongoing $4.1 billion expansion at the North Carolina plant that employed some 2,500 people in 2024 and was expected to add 1,000 more. Reuters could not determine the exact number or the reason for the layoffs in Clayton, which came three weeks after Doustdar announced the broader restructuring. Reuters contacted about 30 of the Novo employees who posted on LinkedIn that they had been laid off. One replied, saying a non-disclosure agreement prevented them from speaking to the media.

By Sudip Kar-Gupta BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Dutch cryptocurrency company Amdax, which plans to launch a bitcoin treasury company called AMBTS on the Dutch exchange, has raised 30 million euros ($35 million) in financing, it said on Tuesday, highlighting the persistent appeal of Bitcoin. Amdax said the closing of its initial financing round for AMBTS meant it was ready to start its programme of buying Bitcoin, which has hit record highs this month, breaching through the $125,000 price level. "The closing of this round is an important milestone," said CEO and AMBTS co-founder Lucas Wensing. "We now move forward with our bitcoin strategy, aiming to offer investors transparent access to this unique asset class," he added in a statement. Amdax will join a host of companies buying bitcoin for their treasury reserves, such as Dutch-based firm Treasury, backed by the U.S. billionaire Winklevoss twins, Strive, which is backed by former Republican U.S. presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Michael Saylor's company Strategy.
