A rare and shocking stinker from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, combined with another no-show from the offense, puts Dodgers into 0-2 hole in NLCS vs. Brewers

Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s historic postseason dominance took a stunning hit in Game 2 of the NLCS as the Dodgers’ ace lasted just 2⅔ innings against the Brewers, his shortest October start ever. The 75-pitch outing—marked by three earned runs—left Yamamoto visibly shaken, admitting he needed to review footage to understand what went wrong.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ offense failed to deliver, as Milwaukee’s relentless lineup wore down the rotation, securing a 7-4 victory and putting Los Angeles in a 0-2 hole. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the struggles, attributing the loss to both Yamamoto’s performance and bullpen lapses, though he offered no clear explanation for the collapse.

With a dynasty on the line, the Brewers now hold a commanding lead as the Dodgers face an uphill battle to reclaim momentum.
