Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a complete game for Los Angeles, his only run coming on a lead-off home run by Jackson Chourio. Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez each hit solo home runs for the Dodgers, and Shohei Ohtani had an RBI single. Los Angeles will take a 2-0 series lead home to Dodger Stadium for Game 3 on Thursday at 6:08 p.m. ET

The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-1, in Game 3 of the NLCS, and are one loss from elimination.

Lost in the craziness: L.A. hit Quinn Priester well that inning. Hernández walked, Freddie Freeman hit a rocket to left field that Isaac Collins had to jump to catch, Will Smith and Tommy Edman singled, then Muncy hit a ball to the top of the wall in center. Priester and the Brewers are fortunate to escape that inning without a run scoring.

If you don’t have cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream the MLB playoffs on TBS for free. One option we love is DIRECTV, which comes with a five-day free trial and starts at $59.99/month for genre packs, with plenty of subscription options and genre packs that include TBS (we recommend the Sports Genre Pack !).
