Dodgers need Brewers help to score, can’t stop William Contreras in NLCS Game 2 loss

Milwaukee’s William Contreras powered the Brewers to a 7-4 victory over the Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Oct. 12, 2026, delivering three run‑scoring hits, including a fifth‑inning home run at American Family Field.

The win puts Los Angeles down two games to none, the deepest hole the club has faced in a series since the 2023 NLDS.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s outing ended after just 75 pitches, as he surrendered a crucial curveball that allowed Christian Yelich to drive in two runs, and he was pulled without recording a standard out. Brewers starter Logan Henderson allowed three hits and two walks, but three defensive miscues – a wild pitch that set up Mookie Betts’s sac fly, a pickoff error that let Edman score, and another throwing error after a Kyle Tucker double – proved decisive in the loss.
