As this is being typed, NLCS Game Two is tied 3-3, as Milwaukee Brewers starter Logan Henderson has exited the game after his second throwing error of the game.
Update: It’s 4-3 Dodgers after Freddie Freeman scored Tommy Edman on a sac fly. It’s now 4-4 after a William Contreras home run.
It’s a battle between bullpens, as Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto has also exited the game after a not-so-sharp start.
So, it’s a battle between bullpens in Game 2, and for the Brewers, enter Dustin May, who the Dodgers are all too familiar with.
In 2025, Dustin May was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Boston Red Sox, and then May signed with the Cardinals this offseason and was traded from the Cardinals to the Milwaukee Brewers.
