The Milwaukee Brewers claimed a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night at American Family Field, seizing an early advantage in the best-of-seven matchup.
Brice Turang provided the decisive blow, homering off Dodgers starter Tarik Skubal. The Milwaukee bullpen then took over, shutting down the Los Angeles lineup after starter Jacob Misiorowski endured a taxing outing.
The series opener drew a home crowd at American Family Field, where the Brewers will look to build on their 1-0 series lead. Game 2 is scheduled for Monday, October 13, 2026, at the same venue.
The Brewers' ability to limit the Dodgers to a single run after Misiorowski's abbreviated start underscored the depth of Milwaukee's relief corps, a critical asset in a series featuring two of the National League's most potent offenses.
