The Brewers beat the Dodgers 7-4 Monday to take a 2-0 NLCS lead. William Contreras drove in three runs, including a game-tying fifth-inning homer.
Why it matters: The Dodgers must win four of the next five games to reach the World Series. They last came back from 2-0 down in the 2020 NLCS.
Where they split: Outlets differ on whether Milwaukee's hitting reflects skill or luck, with OutKick attributing it to soft contact falling in.
Center coverage, 8 sources: The center focuses on Contreras's game-tying homer as a turning point.
Left coverage, 3 sources: The left frames it around Contreras's clutch hitting and Yamamoto's early exit.
Right coverage, 6 sources: The right frames it as a Dodgers collapse, with OutKick also crediting luck on soft contact.
What’s next: Game 3 is Wednesday in Los Angeles, where the Dodgers host the next three games.
