"Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a three-hitter for the first postseason complete game in eight years as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Tuesday night to extend their lead in the National League Championship Series. Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy each hit a solo homer as the Dodgers left Milwaukee with a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series, which shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday."
"Muncy's 412-foot drive to center field was the 14th homer of his postseason career, breaking the Dodgers record he had shared with Corey Seager and Justin Turner. Yamamoto allowed a home run to Jackson Chourio on the first of his 111 pitches but shut down the Brewers the rest of the way. The $325 million right-hander struck out seven and walked one during his first complete game in two major league seasons."
"This is the first time since 1970 that both LCS road teams started 2-0. The Seattle Mariners own a 2-0 lead over Toronto in the ALCS heading into Game 3 on Wednesday in Seattle. Twenty-four of the previous 27 teams that took the first two games on the road in a best-of-seven series with a 2-3-2 format have gone on to win."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a three-hitter and completed his first postseason complete game in eight years as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1. Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy each hit solo home runs; Muncy's 412-foot shot was his 14th postseason homer, breaking the Dodgers postseason record he shared with Corey Seager and Justin Turner. Yamamoto surrendered an early Jackson Chourio homer but then struck out seven, walked one and logged 111 pitches while shutting down Milwaukee. The Dodgers hold a 2-0 NLCS lead as the series moves to Los Angeles for Game 3. Historically, both LCS road teams starting 2-0 is the first occurrence since 1970, and teams with a 2-0 road start in a 2-3-2 format have overwhelmingly gone on to win their series.
