The Milwaukee Brewers overcame a late deficit to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Monday, taking a 2-0 series lead as the teams head to Los Angeles.
Milwaukee relied on a small-ball approach to do the damage, collecting 12 hits in total, 10 of them singles, as the Brewers' lineup repeatedly found ways to reach base against the Dodgers' pitching staff.
Bullpen trouble late
The Dodgers let their lead slip after Milwaukee got into the Los Angeles bullpen in the later innings. The Brewers scored four runs over the final four frames to turn the game around, converting steady contact into a decisive advantage rather than relying on long balls.
The result leaves Los Angeles facing a must-win scenario as the series shifts to Dodger Stadium, with the Dodgers needing to find a response to Milwaukee's contact-oriented offense before the series can swing back in their favor.
