The Milwaukee Brewers moved to a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series on Monday, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 behind a steady diet of singles rather than power.
Milwaukee racked up 12 hits in the game, ten of them singles, methodically working through the Dodgers' bullpen once Los Angeles turned to its relief corps in the later innings. The Brewers scored four of their seven runs across the final four frames, turning a close contest into a comfortable win by the finish.
Catcher William Contreras, who played a central role in the offensive effort, said afterward that Milwaukee has no intention of letting up, vowing the team would "keep going" as it looks to close out the series.
The Dodgers, who entered the series as one of the league's most dangerous lineups, will need to find answers quickly as the series moves forward with Milwaukee now needing just two more wins to reach the World Series.
