Brewers Edge Dodgers 2-1 in NLCS Game 1 Thriller
12 Oct
Summary
- Brewers bullpen dominated after a short start.
- Dodgers offense stalled after the second inning.
- Yamamoto set to pitch Game 2 for Dodgers.
The Milwaukee Brewers opened the NLCS with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, echoing last year's Game 1 score. The Brewers' bullpen was instrumental in preserving the win, stepping up after Jacob Misiorowski's abbreviated start.
The Dodgers' offense struggled to score after the second inning, facing relentless pressure from Milwaukee's relief pitchers. The reigning champions now look to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to even the series in Game 2, as he carries a strong playoff record following team losses.
Despite the bullpen's heavy use, the Brewers are not expected to overextend rookie Logan Henderson in upcoming games. Henderson, who earned the win in his postseason debut, pitched effectively against the Dodgers previously, outdueling Tarik Skubal.
