π Bible Verse: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — Philippians 4:13
The Dodgers marched into Milwaukee for Game 2 of the NLCS looking to take command of the series—and that's exactly what they did. Behind the masterful pitching of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles silenced the Brewers' bats and took a 5–1 victory, moving one step closer to another World Series berth. Milwaukee's crowd came alive early when rookie Jackson Chourio opened the bottom of the first with a solo blast that gave the Brewers brief hope. But that noise faded fast.
Yamamoto settled into a rhythm, mowing down hitters with his precision fastball and devastating splitter. His complete-game gem featured just three hits allowed, one walk, and seven strikeouts—a performance that echoed postseason greatness. On offense, the Dodgers responded in kind. Teoscar HernΓ‘ndez tied the game with a solo homer, Max Muncy launched another, and Shohei Ohtani drove in a key run with his usual flair. By the seventh inning, it was clear who owned the night.
Now up 2–0 in the series, the Dodgers head home to Chavez Ravine with the momentum firmly on their side, their sights fixed on finishing what they started in Milwaukee.
