Contreras Delivers Key Hits
William Contreras tied the game in the fifth inning with a homer and then singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth. Those contributions helped the Brewers improve to 5-1 in the postseason while chasing their second pennant. The team posted 12 hits overall, including 10 singles, and added RBI singles from two other players in the eighth to extend the lead to 7-4.
Bullpen Shuts Down Los Angeles
Four relievers combined to retire the final 15 Dodgers batters in order after an early exit by the starter. Los Angeles managed just three hits and went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position, dropping to 2 for 26 in those situations this postseason. The Dodgers also received a short outing from their starter, who lasted only 2 2/3 innings.
Errors and Late Rally Decide Outcome
The starter for Milwaukee allowed four runs over four innings but committed two errors that affected the earned-run total. Los Angeles took the lead three times early, yet Milwaukee answered each time. A hit batsman and a throwing error in the sixth set up the decisive run, turning the contest into a battle the Brewers bullpen won to secure the 2-0 series advantage before the teams head to Los Angeles.
