Story summary

The Milwaukee Brewers took a commanding 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) after winning Game 2 by a score of 7-4, with standout performances from relievers who retired the last 15 Dodgers batters in order. William Contreras was particularly notable for hitting a tie-breaking home run and driving in the go-ahead run, finishing with three RBIs on Monday night.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled significantly for the Dodgers, pitching only 2 ⅔ innings while giving up four hits, three runs (two earned), two walks, and striking out just one batter. The Dodgers' offense managed just three hits in total, going 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position. Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith combined to go 0-for-8, further compounding the team's offensive woes.

The Brewers are now two wins away from their first World Series appearance since 1982, while the Dodgers face a challenging task of rallying from a 2-0 deficit for the first time since 2020. The series heads to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Wednesday.
