The National League Championship Series continues Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers face off in Game 2 at American Family Field. After a nail-biting opener, the Dodgers took Game 1 by a 2-1 score, barely holding on after loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth. With that win, Los Angeles now holds a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, inching closer to a potential World Series berth.
Tuesday’s matchup, set to begin at 8:08 p.m. ET, promises a pitching showdown that could define the series. The Dodgers are expected to hand the ball to right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while the Brewers will counter with ace Freddy Peralta. Both starters have been strong in October playoff action so far. Yamamoto boasts a 2.53 ERA with 11 strikeouts and just three walks over 10 ⅔ innings, while Peralta has a 4.66 ERA with 15 strikeouts and five walks in 9 ⅔ innings.
