The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, at American Family Field, taking a 1-0 series lead in a rematch of last year's NLCS. Brice Turang hit the game's only home run, and rookie Luis Lara delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the fifth inning to score Garrett Mitchell, accounting for the margin of victory. Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski worked into the middle innings before handing off to a bullpen that shut down a Dodgers lineup that repeatedly stranded runners in scoring position, a pattern highlighted in postgame coverage from Fox Sports and CBS Sports. Los Angeles managed just one run despite multiple scoring chances. The win avenged Milwaukee's loss to the Dodgers in last year's NLCS, when Los Angeles advanced to the World Series. Game 2 of the series was scheduled for the following night in Milwaukee, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting for the Dodgers against Logan Henderson for the Brewers. Predict Six's community favored the Brewers at 56%, correctly anticipating that Milwaukee would beat the defending-pennant Dodgers in the series opener, though the pick was closer to a toss-up than the result suggested.
