The National League Championship Series will be decided in match 7! The Milwaukee Brewers did their duty at home and won game 6 against the Los Angeles Dodgers with 7:2. Especially First Baseman Jesus Aguilar played great.
The Dodgers started strongly against Brewers starter Wade Miley: David Freese directly beat a Lead-Off-Homerun for an early lead for the guests. But the joy of it did not last too long.
Because the Brewers hit him right back. With two men on base Jesus Aguilar with his 2-Run-Double ensured a prompt change of lead, before Mike Moustakas with his RBI-Double and Erik Kratz with a RBI-Single set the score at 4:1.
In the second inning, Ryan Braun also made another run against Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu with an RBI double. The Korean then pitched a fast third inning before he finished (3 IP, 7 H, 5 ER).
Miley, on the other hand, came to the fifth inning. After two Walks and a RBI-Double by Freese Miley (4 2/3 IP, 5 H, 2 ER) also lost. The Bullpen took over and held Milwaukee’s 5-2 lead until the seventh inning.
Then the Brewers came to their sixth run. Against right-hander Kenta Maeda they brought two more runners on base, whereupon Aguilar (2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI) used a wild pitch of the Japanese for his second run in the game – 6:2 Brewers.
But Milwaukee was not satisfied with that either. After the Dodgers failed to complete a seemingly easy double play with an out in the eighth inning, they punished Aguilar with a RBI single to 7:2
The Brewers only used four pitcher and even waived their super-reeliever Josh Hader, who could potentially break off three innings in game 7.
Game 7 of the NLCS takes place in the night to Sunday at 2.09 a.m. (live on DAZN) in the Miller Park of Milwaukee. Who the Starting Pitcher will be, however, is still open.
