Milwaukee defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7–4 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. William Contreras hit a tying home run in the fifth inning and supplied the go-ahead run with a single in the sixth.
The Brewers bullpen then retired the last fifteen Dodgers batters in order. Los Angeles produced only three hits, allowing Milwaukee to move two games ahead in the best-of-seven contest before the series shifts to California.
Milwaukee is seeking its first World Series appearance since 1982, when the club belonged to the American League. The Dodgers have previously recovered from a two-game deficit, but the current situation leaves them needing both stronger hitting and a reversal of the series momentum.
