Brewers Take NLCS Game 2 Against Dodgers Behind Contreras’s Clutch Performance
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in NLCS Game 2 in Milwaukee. William Contreras was instrumental, hitting a tying homer and the go-ahead run, while the Brewers' bullpen successfully retired the final 15 batters faced.
Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 12, 2026 — The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) held in Milwaukee. The win evened the series for the Brewers.
Central to the Brewers’ comeback was the performance of William Contreras. Contreras was instrumental in shifting the game’s momentum, first by hitting a pivotal home run that tied the score, and later by delivering the hit that brought in the go-ahead run for Milwaukee. His contributions were critical in the team’s ability to overcome an earlier deficit.
The Brewers’ bullpen also played a significant role in preserving the lead and securing the victory. The relief corps successfully retired the final 15 batters faced by the Dodgers, preventing any further scoring from Los Angeles in the late innings of the game. This dominant bullpen performance capped off a strong defensive effort by the home team.
The final score of 7-4 reflects the Brewers’ successful rally and their opponents’ inability to mount a comeback in the closing stages of Game 2. The series now moves forward with both teams having secured one victory.
