Brewers Bullpen Shines in 7-4 Victory Over Dodgers, Takes 2-0 NLCS Lead

The Milwaukee Brewers achieved a 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

After starting pitcher Logan Henderson was removed in the fifth inning due to errors that tied the game, the Brewers' bullpen stepped up, delivering five perfect innings. This performance marked the first time in franchise history that the Brewers held a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven series. The bullpen's postseason ERA now stands at an impressive 0.31.

Notably, the five innings pitched without allowing a base runner set a record for the most perfect innings by a bullpen in postseason history. JoJo Romero, who struck out four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, earned the win, while Abner Uribe continued his strong postseason showing. Aaron Ashby closed the game with just 21 pitches, further solidifying the Brewers' strong relief pitching.
