Turang homers and Milwaukee's bullpen delivers as the Brewers beat the Dodgers 2-1 in NLCS opener
Milwaukee held Los Angeles to two hits after Brice Turang’s homer and Luis Lara’s RBI single in a crowd of 42,617.
Yesterday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in the National League Championship Series opener, with Brice Turang homering off Dodgers ace Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning.
Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run over four innings, then the bullpen—DL Hall, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill—held Los Angeles scoreless through the final innings.
Los Angeles struggled offensively, dropping to 2 for 22 in the playoffs; the Dodgers grounded into 3 double plays and stranded runners before a crowd of 42,617 at American Family Field.
Today, the teams play Game 2 at American Family Field, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting for Los Angeles and Logan Henderson taking the mound for Milwaukee.
This matchup marks the first NLCS meeting of 100-win teams since the Cincinnati Reds eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in 1976; the victory also snapped Milwaukee's seven-game postseason losing streak against the Dodgers.
