Overview
- The Brewers beat the Dodgers 2-1 on Sunday night at American Family Field, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.
- Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run over 4 1/3 innings while surviving a 35-pitch second inning, and Brice Turang’s solo homer plus Luis Lara’s go-ahead RBI produced Milwaukee’s runs.
- Milwaukee’s bullpen combined for 4 2/3 scoreless innings to preserve the win, with closer Trevor Megill retiring Mookie Betts on a flyout to end the game.
- Los Angeles made notable roster and lineup choices before the series by adding lefty Justin Wrobleski to its 26-man NLCS roster while leaving Hyeseong Kim off and batting Kyle Tucker eighth with Shohei Ohtani in the cleanup spot.
- The result reshapes the rematch narrative from last year’s Dodgers sweep as both clubs now turn to their next starters—Logan Henderson is likely to follow for Milwaukee and Yoshinobu Yamamoto is expected for Los Angeles in Game 2—which will test pitching depth and bullpen management.
