Quick Summary

In the first game of the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 at home. Jacob Misiorowski led for Milwaukee, pitching effectively despite a solo homer by Brice Turang in the fourth inning and an RBI single from Luis Lara in the fifth. The Dodgers’ offense struggled with just one hit in five opportunities with runners in scoring position, leaving eight men on base. This article highlights how the Brewers' victory could shift momentum as they look to avenge their sweep last year by taking advantage of the Dodgers' offensive inefficiencies.
