In a battle of little things, Brewers did the big thing to beat Dodgers in NLCS Game 1

The Milwaukee Brewers edged past the Los Angeles Dodgers in a low-scoring Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, with a pair of timely runs proving decisive. The Dodgers' ace, Tarik Skubal, held the Brewers to just one hit in the first three innings, but Brice Turang broke the game open with a leadoff home run in the fourth off Skubal, tying the score at 1-1.

The Brewers capitalized in the fifth when Garrett Mitchell’s sacrifice bunt set up Luis Lara’s RBI single, giving Milwaukee a 2-1 lead they never relinquished. Skubal struggled in relief, walking two batters in the fifth before exiting, while the Dodgers’ approach against Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski—focusing on contact over power—paid off in limiting damage despite Misiorowski’s dominant velocity.

Turang’s defensive highlight—a diving stop and double-play turn—also played a key role in stifling Dodgers rallies early in the game.
