In a game that pivoted on two pitchers – one a rookie and relative unknown, the other among the most celebrated of his generation – the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-5, Friday night in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers threatened in the ninth inning as the tying run was left at third following a Justin Turner strikeout to end the game. The Brewers scored five runs in three-plus innings against Clayton Kershaw, the three-time Cy Young Award winner whose October record is, at best, blotchy.
