Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled during Monday’s NLCS game, pitching 2 ⅔ innings and allowing four hits, three runs, two walks, and striking out only one batter before being removed in the third inning by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. After giving up a critical two-run RBI single to Christian Yelich that put Milwaukee ahead 3-2, Yamamoto expressed uncertainty about his performance’s cause, planning to review video footage for insights. The article focuses on Yamamoto's challenging outing and its impact on the game's early stages, where his inability to control the inning led to a pivotal shift in momentum favoring the Brewers.

Story summary
In Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the two-time defending World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4. Despite starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto's strong regular-season record and reputation in postseason play, he struggled early, allowing three runs over just 2⅔ innings before being relieved. The Brewers' bullpen then retired all 15 batters they faced to secure the victory. This win gives Milwaukee a commanding 2-0 series lead heading into Game 3 in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Key Dodgers players Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith continued their offensive struggles, going a combined 0-for-8 with three strikeouts. The loss puts significant pressure on the Dodgers to avoid falling further behind as they look to defend their title against a formidable Brewers team.
