MILWAUKEE — Brice Turang homered off Tarik Skubal and Luis Lara singled home the go-ahead run in the fifth, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2–1 on Sunday night in the opener of the National League Championship Series, the Associated Press reported. Jacob Misiorowski started and was taxed. DL Hall got the win. Trevor Megill finished it. Los Angeles had scored in the second, Andy Pages driving in Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers grounded into three double plays, left nine runners on, and went 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position.
It was the first NLCS matching two 100-win clubs since Cincinnati eliminated Philadelphia in 1976. The Brewers had lost seven straight postseason games to the Dodgers, including last October’s sweep. Game 2 is Monday night in Milwaukee. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts for Los Angeles. Logan Henderson starts for Milwaukee. American Family Field held 42,617.
The first NLCS of two 100-win teams since 1976.
