Brewers beat Dodgers 7-4 to take a 2-0 NLCS lead
Three Los Angeles Dodgers players are most to blame for the team's loss in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series (NCLS) to the Milwaukee Brewers, according to a recent article. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, outfielder Shohei Ohtani, and manager Dave Roberts are the three players singled out for criticism.
Yamamoto left the game early, and his performance was lackluster, allowing three earned runs in just 2.2 innings pitched. Roberts, who was tasked with stemming the tide of the Brewers' offense, failed to make the necessary adjustments and had to use eight pitchers in the game. Ohtani, who was not able to get a hit or walk in four at-bats, was also a significant contributor to the Dodgers' loss.
The article suggests that Roberts may have painted himself into a corner by relieving Ohtani of his pitching duties, and now the Dodgers' staff appears to be weaker than the Brewers' staff. The article ends by stating that the Dodgers will need to make adjustments before the series resumes at Dodger Stadium.
