It's never a satisfying practice, but sometimes you just have to tip your cap. That's what the Milwaukee Brewers are left doing after their loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS. The recipient of said cap tips? Dodgers' starting pitcher Blake Snell.
Snell was masterful on the bump for the Dodgers tonight, facing the minimum number of hitters through his eight-inning gem. The only blemish was a third-inning single off the bat of Caleb Durbin, but just a few pitches later, Snell picked off the Brewers' third baseman at first base.
