Snell Gem, Freeman Homer Helps Dodgers Beat Brewers in NLCS Opener

On Monday night in Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series as Blake Snell pitched eight shutout innings.
Given a focus on workload management, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts defended pulling Blake Snell as a calculated choice, sparking social media reaction and postseason debate over trust in the bullpen.
Notably, Blake Snell worked eight shutout innings with 10 strikeouts before exiting after 103 pitches, setting a postseason history record and improving to a 3-0 postseason record.
Roberts pulled Snell after 103 pitches and handed the ninth to Roki Sasaki, allowing Milwaukee to load the bases before Blake Treinen struck out Brice Turang to end the game.
Despite Monday's score, the series remains competitive since Milwaukee swept six regular-season meetings with Los Angeles, and Pat Murphy said `The kid is incredible` about Blake Snell.
