MILWAUKEE — If there have been happier clubhouses after splitting the first two games of a seven-game series, none come to mind. The Dodgers lead the National League Championship Series over the Brewers, one game each.
Los Angeles won the kind of game Saturday the Brewers are built to win. Down three runs with nine outs left, the Dodgers hung four runs on the supposedly Mariana-deep bullpen of Milwaukee to steal Game 2, 4-3.
In two games the Dodgers scored eight runs late against the team that allowed the fewest runs this year between the seventh and ninth innings.
