"Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a three-hitter for the first postseason complete game in eight years as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Tuesday night to take a commanding lead in the National League Championship Series. Teoscar Hernández and Max Muncy each hit a solo homer as the Dodgers left Milwaukee with a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series, which shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday."
"Yamamoto allowed a home run to Jackson Chourio on the first of his 111 pitches but shut down the Brewers the rest of the way. The right-hander's complete game was his first in the majors and the first in the postseason since Justin Verlander did it for Houston against the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the 2017 ALCS."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a three-hitter complete game, allowing one early home run, as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 to take a 2-0 NLCS lead. Teoscar Hernández and Max Muncy each hit solo homers, with Muncy's 412-foot shot marking his 14th career postseason homer and a new Dodgers record. Yamamoto threw 111 pitches and recorded his first major-league complete game and the first postseason complete game since 2017. The last Dodgers postseason complete game came in 2004. Both LCS road teams starting 2-0 has not happened since 1970, and most teams that win the first two road games in a 2-3-2 format go on to win the series.
