The Los Angeles Dodgers took Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, beating the Milwaukee Brewers, 2-1, on Monday night at American Family Field. A Blake Snell gem, a Freddie Freeman solo home run, and Mookie Betts getting walked with the bases loaded contributed to a memorable start to the Championship Series.
During the game, there was an improbable double play from the Brewers off a Max Muncy swing that sent a ball over 400 feet. Manager Dave Roberts spoke on the peculiar moment after the contest, but noted that it was the correct call.
Finally, Snell didn’t just have a third-straight dominant postseason game in a Dodgers uniform, but made history on the mound.
