Key Points:
- Jake Bauers delivered two historic at-bats in Game Two of the NLCS, including a 12-pitch walk and an 11-pitch, two-run homer off Blake Snell that helped the Brewers take control of the game.
- The Brewers jumped out early with a leadoff home run by Jackson Chourio and received strong pitching performances from Robert Gasser, who threw five scoreless innings, and reliever DL Hall, who stranded key runners.
- Despite a brief Dodgers lead in the sixth inning, the Brewers responded with back-to-back homers by Bauers and Garrett Mitchell, turning the momentum decisively in Milwaukee’s favor.
- The Brewers bullpen, led by Hall and closer Trevor Megill, effectively shut down the Dodgers in the late innings to secure a 6-2 victory and a commanding 3-0 series lead.
- Milwaukee is now one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time in 44 years, with Game Three set for the following night featuring Tyler Glasnow starting for the Dodgers.
