Dodgers, Brewers Take 2-0 NLDS Leads After Snell Gem and Milwaukee’s Three-Homer Surge

With 2-0 cushions, both favorites return home Wednesday for potential clinchers.

Overview

  • Dodgers beat the Phillies 4-3 in Game 2 as Blake Snell fired six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts before a four-run seventh broke the deadlock.
  • The Phillies rallied in the ninth to pull within one, but Roki Sasaki secured his second save of the series on a Turner grounder finished by a sharp Freddie Freeman pick.
  • Milwaukee topped Chicago 7-3, powered by three-run homers from Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio and a solo shot by William Contreras.
  • Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski earned the win with three scoreless innings, throwing 31 triple-digit pitches and reaching 104.3 mph.
  • Chourio played despite an inconclusive hamstring MRI and drilled a 419-foot homer off a 101.4 mph pitch, as both series shift to Los Angeles and Wrigley Field with the Phillies and Cubs one loss from elimination; teams up 2-0 in best-of-five have won 80 of 90.
