Summary
Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a complete game for Los Angeles in NLCS Game 2, helping the Dodgers respond after dropping the opener to Milwaukee.
Game 1 had turned on missed Dodgers chances: Los Angeles scored first but stranded traffic on the bases, while the Brewers tied it on a homer and later manufactured the go-ahead run with a walk, bunt and single.
Yamamoto entered with a strong postseason track record — the Dodgers had won 10 of his previous 11 playoff appearances, and he had allowed 15 earned runs in 63 postseason innings since joining the club.
The outing came in a series widely viewed as a de facto World Series, with the two-time defending champion Dodgers trying to keep their bid for a third straight title on course.
