He allowed just <strong>three hits and one run<\/strong>, striking out seven rivals and controlling the game with his usual mix of precision pitches.\n\nWith this victory, Los Angeles heads home with a comfortable lead. In Major League history, teams that have won the first two games of a best-of-seven series <strong>have won the title 83.9% of the time<\/strong>, and those who do so as visitors achieve it almost 89% of the time.\n\nThe Brewers&#8217; opener, <strong>Freddy Peralta<\/strong>, was punished early with a <strong>home run by Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> and a <strong>run-scoring double by Andy Pages<\/strong> in the second inning. Later, <strong>Max Muncy<\/strong> added a solo home run and <strong>Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> drove in another with a single.\n\nThe Dodgers, who led the National League in runs during the regular season but ranked eighth in ERA, <strong>have reversed roles in October<\/strong>, with a rotation that dominates every outing. Their starters have pitched more than six innings in seven of their first eight postseason games, something that hadn&#8217;t happened since the 2013 Detroit Tigers.\n\nFrom the Milwaukee side, <strong>Jackson Chourio<\/strong> made history by hitting his second leadoff home run in the postseason, but the Brewers&#8217; offense went cold again. <strong>Christian Yelich<\/strong> now has 15 consecutive playoff games without driving in a run.\n\nThe series now moves to <strong>Los Angeles<\/strong>, where <strong>Tyler Glasnow<\/strong> will start Game 3 and <strong>Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> will take the mound for Game 4. The Brewers will need to react quickly if they want to keep their aspirations of reaching their first World Series since 1982 alive.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milwaukee \u2014 Japanese Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a masterful complete game and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 this Tuesday, to take a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) 2025.
