Dodgers dynasty on the brink after the Milwaukee BABIP machine dials up another win for Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 2-0 series lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, winning Game 2 with a 7-4 victory. Key to their success were numerous bloop singles, a dominant bullpen that pitched 4.2 scoreless innings in Game 1 and continued their streak in Game 2, and timely hitting from players like William Contreras. The Dodgers’ hopes for a three-peat are now on life support.
