  "summary": "In the first two games of the National League Championship Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have fallen behind 0-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who made his return to American Family Field, lasted only 2-2/3 innings in his latest start, surrendering three runs on four hits and two walks. Yamamoto was pulled after the third inning, expressing frustration with his inability to execute his split-finger fastball and a final curveball that resulted in a two-run hit. Despite the early setback, the Dodgers managed to regain a 4-3 lead in the fifth inning, with RBIs from Tommy Edman and Freddie Freeman. The series now shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Wednesday.",
