"Last night turned out great for the Dodgers as they took the first game of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers by a score of 2-1. Blake Snell was as close to perfect as one could be, facing the minimum through eight innings before the bullpen entered the game for three measly outs. Roki Sasaki and Blake Treinen pulled it off, but it was incredibly ugly and the bullpen woes continued."
"The offense managed just two runs despite creating a ton of opportunities, and they'll need to be more efficient at taking advantage of those opportunities as they face the Brewers' ace, Freddy Peralta. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be on the mound looking to bounce back from his rough outing against the Phillies, up against a Brewers' offense that roughed him up back in July."
Blake Snell dominated, facing the minimum through eight innings before the bullpen allowed three outs to finish the game, with Roki Sasaki and Blake Treinen ultimately closing it. The Dodgers scored two runs on seven hits and eight walks but left eleven runners on base, going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The Brewers managed minimal offense but were a single away from victory, aided by close plays such as Brice Turang avoiding a game-tying HBP and Muncy's flyout finding Sal Frelick. The Dodgers will send Yoshinobu Yamamoto to face Brewers ace Freddy Peralta next, with minor lineup adjustments including Freddie Freeman moving up.
