[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] In G1 of the National League Championship Series, although the defending Dodgers took the lead to break through the Brewers' ace Jacob Misiorowski, they only scored 1 point in the game; in the 5th inning, the Dodgers were led by a timely hit from the Brewers' Luis Lara, and finally lost 1:2.
The Dodgers relied on Shohei Ohtani to draw a walk in the second inning, and then Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages hit hits one after another, helping the Dodgers gain the lead 1:0. However, the Brewers relied on Brice Turang to bombard the Dodgers' second-year Cy Young pitcher Tarik Skubal in the 4th inning to tie the game. In the 5th inning, Lara scored a double and scored a lead.
Although the Dodgers successfully retired Mischolowski in 4.1 innings, Freddie Freeman hit a double play against DL Hall in the 5th inning. After that, the Brewers began to use a fireball bullpen in the victory group. Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill worked together to control the situation. The Dodgers' line had no ability to counterattack, and the series started unfavorably on the road.
Tarik Skubal, the Dodgers' second-term Cy Young pitcher, started 5 innings today and had 53 strikes in 81 pitches. He allowed 5 hits including 1 home run, allowed 2 runs, struck out 7 times, and walked 2 times, earning a loss. The two sides will play G2 tomorrow. The Dodgers will send Japanese ace Yushin Yamamoto, and the Brewers will launch 24-year-old right-hander Logan Henderson.
Dodger Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani received a walk in the first at bat today, and then returned to home plate to score. In the third at bat, he got a hit from Yuribe. In the end, he had 3 hits and 1 K. His postseason batting average was 0.188 and the offensive index was 0.504. Although he hit the bases twice in a single game, he did not have a hit in 106 consecutive at bats, setting the worst record of his career.
