Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a vintage performance in Game 2 of the NLCS, pitching a complete-game three-hit gem to help the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 5\u20131 and take a 2\u20130 series lead. After yielding a leadoff homer to Jackson Chourio, Yamamoto settled in, retiring 14 batters in a row, fanning seven, walking one, and finishing with 111 pitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Offensively, the Dodgers wasted little time. Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez launched a second-inning homer to tie the game, Andy Pages and Shohei Ohtani drove in runs to build a lead, and Max Muncy went deep in the sixth\u2014his 14th career postseason homer, a new franchise record. Meanwhile, Brewers starter Freddy Peralta gave up three runs over 5\u2154 innings, and Milwaukee\u2019s offense was held in check all night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the first postseason complete game by any pitcher since 2017, and the first by a Dodger since Jos\u00e9 Lima in 2004 \u2014 a throwback showing in an era of bullpen depth and rapid hooks. With Game 3 shifting to Los Angeles, the momentum firmly swings toward a Dodgers roster built on dominant starters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
