The Milwaukee Brewers have taken a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven NLCS over the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Back-and-forth action dominated Monday's game before the Brewers went ahead for good and a 7-4 Game 2 win.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made their decision on Shohei Ohtani ahead of a pivotal Game 3 of the MLB National League Championship Series. Despite a prolonged offensive slump and ongoing health concerns, Ohtani will remain in the starting lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers, manager Dave Roberts confirmed.

In the first game of a rematch of the 2025 NLCS, which saw the Los Angeles Dodgers sweep Milwaukee on their way to a title, the Brewers landed the first punch with a 2-1 win on Sunday. Game 2 is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET Monday in Milwaukee (Fox/FS1).

Dave Roberts has a big decision to make in regards to Shohei Ohtani’s spot in the starting lineup.

The Brewers don't hit many homers, but they're patient and create chaos on the bases. The Dodgers are still searching for their own formula.
