Overview

• Blake Snell dominated with eight shutout innings, allowing one hit with no walks, striking out 10 and facing the minimum 24 batters after a third-inning pickoff.
• Freddie Freeman broke a scoreless game with a solo home run to right in the sixth inning, his first of this postseason.
• A fourth-inning sequence produced a rare 8-6-2 double play when Sal Frelick bobbled a would-be home run off the wall, a play ESPN described as a postseason first of its kind.
• The Dodgers added a crucial ninth-inning run on Mookie Betts’ bases-loaded walk before Roki Sasaki yielded a run and Blake Treinen struck out Brice Turang with the bases loaded to seal it.
• The Brewers, who led MLB with 97 wins and swept six games from the Dodgers in July, now seek a response against the defending champions in Game 2.
