Brewers Battle Dodgers In NLSC Showdown

The Milwaukee Brewers are in the middle of a NLSC Showdown again he Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are currently up in the seven game series 2-0.

In game one it was all about pitching. The Brewers had a bullpen/opener game where they started Aaron Ashby for an inning and then going to Quinn Priester for four innings. They then went to other bullpen arms for the rest of the game. Meanwhile the Dodgers went to Lefty Blake Snell, and he put on one of the better playoff starts of any starting pitcher. He went 8 innings giving up no runs and only one hit. The Dodgers managed to scrap a couple runs in the game, while the Brewers comeback came up short in the bottom of the 9th inning.

Game two was very similar. Brewers Ace Freddy Peralta had a solid game, going almost six innings while allowing 3 runs but Dodger’s starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a complete game, while giving up three hits and only allowing one run. The only run Yamamoto gave up was a homerun in the first inning to Jackson Chourio. The Dodgers managed to get to Freddy Peralta and the Brewers bullpen by putting up five run in the game which was more than enough for Yamamoto.

They play game three today in LA, as three games will be played there, as the Dodgers took both games in Milwaukee. So the Brewers will have to play well in LA to keep the series going!

The Milwaukee Brewers find themselves in the middle of an NLCS showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who currently lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Game One was a pitcher’s duel from start to finish. The Brewers opted for a bullpen game, opening with Aaron Ashby for an inning before turning to Quinn Priester for four more. From there, Milwaukee relied on its relievers to finish things out. On the other side, Dodgers lefty Blake Snell delivered one of the most dominant postseason performances so far, tossing eight shutout innings and allowing just one hit. Los Angeles scratched across a couple of runs, and despite a late push, the Brewers’ rally fell short in the bottom of the ninth.

Game Two played out in similar fashion. Brewers ace Freddy Peralta turned in a solid outing, going nearly six innings and allowing three runs. But Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto was nearly untouchable, throwing a complete game while giving up just three hits and one run—a solo homer by rookie Jackson Chourio in the first inning. The Dodgers’ offense eventually broke through against Peralta and the Milwaukee bullpen, putting up five runs total to secure another win.

With the series shifting to Los Angeles for the next three games, the Brewers will need to dig deep to turn things around and keep their postseason hopes alive.
