Brewers beat Dodgers 7-4 to take 2-0 lead in NLCS
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.
With the win, Milwaukee leads the best-of-seven series 2-0.
In the third inning, Jake Bauers walked after a 12-pitch at-bat to load the bases, and Christian Yelich hit a two-run single that put the Brewers ahead.
The hit helped chase Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto after 2⅔ innings.
William Contreras also had three hits, including a home run, while Milwaukee's bullpen allowed no baserunners over five innings of relief.
The result puts the Brewers halfway toward a sweep after the Dodgers swept them in last year's NLCS.

What people are saying
I wasn't sitting on anything. I just saw it was a good pitch to hit and tried to put a good swing on it.
The deeper that at-bat [Bauers' 12-pitch walk] went, I had a feeling he was getting on base whether that was going to be a walk or a hit.
