Brewers edge Dodgers 2-1 in National League Championship Series opener
One year after they were unceremoniously swept by the Dodgers in the NLCS, the Brewers thrilled fans in Milwaukee.
In Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1. Brewers' slugger Brice Turang hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, catching the Dodgers off guard. The Brewers' bullpen then shined, giving up just four hits over four and two-thirds scoreless innings to secure the lead.
Despite a strong showing from Dodgers ace Tarik Skubal, his counterpart Jacob Misiorowski kept the Dodgers' batters at bay, allowing only one run in the second inning. The Brewers' clutch performance in the late innings, particularly Luis Lara's run-scoring single, sent the series to Game 2 in Milwaukee.
