Overview
- The Brewers lead the best-of-seven National League Championship Series 2-0 after winning Game 1 by 2-1 and Game 2 by 7-4, giving Milwaukee home-field momentum.
- In Game 1 on Sunday, Brice Turang hit a go-ahead solo homer and Luis Lara delivered the RBI single that produced Milwaukee’s decisive second run.
- In Monday’s Game 2 William Contreras drove the offense with four hits, including a tying home run and three RBIs, while Milwaukee’s bullpen closed out the 7-4 win.
- Starting pitching has been a key story, with Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson providing early strong outings for Milwaukee and Dodgers starters Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto failing to suppress Milwaukee’s offense long enough.
- The series shifts to Dodger Stadium for Games 3–5 beginning Wednesday, and the Dodgers face increased elimination risk if they do not respond quickly to prevent a deep deficit.
