On October 14th, 2025, the Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the National League Championship Series with a 2-1 victory over the Brewers in Game 1. The game was highlighted by a strange, one-in-a-million play in the 4th inning, where the Brewers' defense made a spectacular effort to turn a double play. However, the Dodgers ultimately prevailed due to their ability to respond to adversity.
The Dodgers' star-studded lineup rallied after the 4th-inning mishap, with Freddie Freeman's 6th-inning home run giving them the lead. But the real story of the game was Dodgers' pitcher Blake Snell, who delivered a dominant 8-inning, 10-strikeout performance, becoming the first Dodgers starter since 2004 to throw a scoreless 8-inning postseason game.
Despite the Brewers' impressive defensive play, the Dodgers' financial might and talent depth proved to be the difference, as they held on to take Game 1 of the series.
