"The NLCS now shifts to Dodger Stadium with the Dodgers holding a 2-0 lead. Chourio sent Yamamoto's first-pitch fastball over the wall in right-center field to give the Brewers an early lead. The leadoff home run was a third in Brewers postseason history, with Chourio also hitting one in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series in 2024, and Corey Hart in Game 6 of the 2011 NLCS."
"Blake Snell and Yamamoto also are the first pair of Dodgers pitchers to go eight or more innings in consecutive postseason starts since Orel Hershiser and Tim Belcher in Games 1 and 2 of the 1988 NLCS. Yamamoto held the Brewers to three hits and finished with seven strikeouts. It was a markedly different performance from his start at American Family Field in July, when Yamamoto recorded just two outs in the worst outing of his career."
Jackson Chourio opened Game 2 with a first-pitch leadoff home run off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, giving the Brewers an early 1-0 lead. Yamamoto allowed only that run while navigating all nine innings, finishing with three hits allowed and seven strikeouts. The Dodgers erased the deficit in the second inning with Teoscar Hernández's game-tying home run and an RBI double by Andy Pages, and Max Muncy provided additional cushion later. Blake Snell's previous long outing and Yamamoto's complete game marked consecutive eight-plus-inning starts by Dodgers pitchers in the same postseason series. Yamamoto's complete game was the franchise's first postseason complete game since José Lima in 2004.
