Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS, avoiding a sweep and scoring more runs than in any game of last year's NLCS.
- Brice Turang hit a rare opposite-field solo home run off Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning, marking only the third time in the Statcast era a lefty-lefty sinker on the inside corner resulted in such a homer, and the first above 95 mph.
- Dodgers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was pulled early after throwing 94 pitches in 4 1/3 innings as the Dodgers aimed to limit his effectiveness, with multiple double plays helping him escape further damage.
- For the ALCS, Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt announced that Foster Griffin will start Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays, coming off 2 2/3 innings of relief in Game 3 and now on regular rest.
