The Brewers jumped on Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers early on Monday night, and a 7-4 Game 2 win gives Milwaukee a 2-0 lead in the NLCS. Teams are historically 8-51 when trailing 2-0 in the League Championship Series. The Dodgers will have a night off before the series shifts to Los Angeles on Wednesday for Game 3.
In the late game, the Guardians waited out Rays starter Drew Rasmussen and then went after the bullpen, cruising to a 7-3 victory in Game 1 of the ALCS.
To reach the Championship Series, the Dodgers eliminated the Braves, the Brewers beat the Padres, the Rays knocked out the Yankees, and the Guardians escaped the White Sox. The Astros, Red Sox, Cubs and Phillies were eliminated in the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
