Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 04:48 · Archive
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
Brice Turang homered off Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated Los Angeles 2-1 in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday. Luis Lara hit a tiebreaking single off Skubal in the fifth inning. The Brewers' bullpen shut down the Dodgers after Jacob Misiorowski's taxing outing.
The victory was significant for Milwaukee, which had lost seven consecutive postseason games against the Dodgers, including a sweep in last year's NLCS. Game 1 marked the first NLCS matchup of 100-win teams since the Cincinnati Reds eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in 1976.
Los Angeles struggled at the plate, grounding into three double plays and stranding nine runners. The Dodgers went 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position, dropping to 2 for 22 in the playoffs. They are seeking to become the first team to win three consecutive championships since the 1998-2000 Yankees. Game 2 takes place Monday in Milwaukee, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting for the Dodgers and Logan Henderson for the Brewers.
