Thanks to Brandon Woodruff's unexpected home run and a strong showing from Milwaukee's bullpen, the Brewers hung on for a nail-biting 6-5 finish over the Dodgers to take a 1-0 lead in the NLCS on Friday. Clayton Kershaw's eight-inning shutout in Game 2 of the NLDS may have put a temporary moratorium on the old "regular season ace falters in the postseason" narrative, but Friday's performance resurrected it in full. The southpaw labored through a 23-pitch first inning, during which he surrendered a leadoff single to Lorenzo Cain, struck out Christian Yelich following a labored 10-pitch at-bat, then induced back-to-back groundouts from Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar to end the inning.
