Lets say Burnes throws as he has all season for about 5 or 6 innings and then Yardley/Topa get the Brewers through the seventh. Its Williams and Josh Hader to close things down..
Unfortunately, the Brewers did suffer these injuries whichs simply the reality..
Yelich had 2 hard hits.
The Brewers saw a great night from Avisail Garcia (3 hits) and Orlando Arcia clubbed his fourth profession playoff homer– connecting him with Prince Fielder for the franchise record– the Brewers offense is all about Christian Yelich. The 2018 MVP who was the runner-up last season had a lackluster routine season (.205/.356/.430), however Wednesday he had a single and double. Both were blistered. Thats a great indication relocating to Game 2. The strikeouts against Walker Buehler in the very first and Kenley Jansen in the ninth werent really worrisome because, well, those guys are studs. It was a net-positive game for Yelich at the plate..
Dodgers bullpen dominated.
At 2.74, the Dodgers had the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball this season, just 0.02 behind the Oakland As. Potentially due to the fact that of their huge names in other places, the group mayve been overshadowed in the routine season.
After starter Walker Buehler quit the two-run homer to Arcia, a game that appeared most likely to be headed for a bloodbath was all of an unexpected just a one-run Dodgers lead..
No concerns. The Dodgers bullpen stepped up with dominant performances. Julio Urias threw 3 scoreless innings, setting out 5 without issuing a single walk. Blake Treinen and Kenley Jansen each followed with a scoreless inning apiece..
Next up.
Theyll do it again Thursday night with Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.16) getting the ball for the Dodgers, seeking to close things down in a nice-and-tidy 2 games. The Brewers counter with Brandon Woodruff (3-5, 3.05), their finest healthy beginning pitcher..
The Los Angeles Dodgers, the No. 1 seed in the National League, began things off the proper way in Game 1 of the wild card round versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, winning 4-2 in a reasonably quick. video game. Thats one down, 12 to reach the Dodgers are worried, since anything less than a World Series title is not really appropriate at this point..
Here are a few of the primary takeaways from Game 1.
Mookie sets the tone (Seager, too!).
This is why the Dodgers went out and got previous MVP Mookie Betts. He led off the bottom of the very first inning with a double and ended up scoring. He then doubled home a run in the 2nd inning. Later, he barely missed a home run with a flyout to the left-field wall. Betts left to a poor start this season for three or 4 games before playing like an MVP the rest of the way. He carried it over into Game 1. Oh, and Corey Seager in the two-hole offered insurance with a solo homer in the seventh. Not too shabby for the top of the order, combining for 3 hits, 3 runs and 2 RBI..
Starter Brent Suter permitted 3 runs in 1 2/3 innings before the Brewers required to go to the bullpen..
After Eric Yardley and Justin Topa dealt for 4 1/3 innings eliminating Suter, Freddy Peralta permitted the Seager homer..
The Los Angeles Dodgers, the No. 1 seed in the National League, began things off the ideal way in Game 1 of the wild card round versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, winning 4-2 in a reasonably quick. Betts got off to a poor start this season for three or four video games before playing like an MVP the rest of the method. He brought it over into Game 1. The Brewers pitching personnel is already a bit more thin than the 2018 bunch that came within a video game of the NL pennant. Thats an excellent sign moving to Game 2.
Makers felt pitching injuries.
The Brewers pitching staff is currently a bit more thin than the 2018 lot that came within a game of the NL pennant. It was constantly going to be a tall order to enter into Dodger Stadium and take 2 of three from a team that played like a 116-win group in the regular season. Things compounded in recent days, nevertheless, when word boiled down that ace starter Corbin Burnes (4-1, 2.11 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 88 K, 24 BB, 59 2/3 IP) was hurt and (more just recently) stud reducer Devin Williams (0.33 ERA, 0.63 WHIP, 53 K, 9 BB, 27 IP) was likewise hurt..
Its totally possible they come away with a win if the Brewers had both and scored the very same 2 runs they did in Game 1. How?.
