Turang, Lara, Brewers bullpen beat Dodgers in NLCS opener
Brice Turang hit a game-tying homer before Luis Lara plated what proved to be the winning run as the Milwaukee Brewers took Game 1 of the NLCS.
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS, with key contributions from both their bats and bullpen. Brice Turang hit a game-tying home run before Luis Lara came around to score the winning run. The Brewers bullpen limited the Dodgers to just two hits, while striking out three and walking three over the final four and two-thirds innings.
Brewer's starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski allowed five hits and a run, striking out five and walking three over 4 1/3 innings. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the uphill battle facing the team, stating, "You can't go into a long series against a team that has the best record in baseball and expect to just win four. It's going to be a long series.
We knew it coming in. We had our chances, but they made plays, pitches when they needed to." The series will continue on Monday in Milwaukee with the Brewers hosting the Dodgers.
