道奇今晚背水一战！山本由伸先发登板，国联冠军赛第二场战酿酒人
10月12日（周一），美国职棒国联冠军赛（NLCS）第二场将在密尔沃基开打。首场 2 比 1 惜败的卫冕冠军洛杉矶道奇已无退路，球队将派出季后赛王牌山本由伸（Yoshinobu Yamamoto）先发登板，力争把系列赛大比分扳成 1 比 1 平。酿酒人则派出新秀右投洛根·亨德森（Logan Henderson）迎战。
周日的首场比赛中，酿酒人凭借四局上布莱斯·图兰（Brice Turang）的一记阳春全垒打追平比分，五局上新秀路易斯·拉拉（Luis Lara）敲出致胜安打，以 2 比 1 拿下开门红。酿酒人王牌雅各布·米西奥罗斯基先发 4 又 1/3 局被敲 5 安失 1 分、用球数达 94 球，之后牛棚接力 4 又 2/3 局无失分守住胜果，特雷弗·梅吉尔拿下本队本赛季季后赛 4 场胜利中的第 3 次救援。道奇先发塔里克·斯库巴尔同样投了 4 又 1/3 局失 1 分，承担败投。
山本由伸在季后赛堪称道奇的定海神针：生涯季后赛 11 场出赛（10 场先发）拿下 8 胜 1 负，防御率仅 2.14。国联分区赛第三场对勇士，他主投 7 局只被敲 4 安失 1 分，率队 3 比 1 获胜。更让酿酒人球迷心有余悸的是去年的国联冠军赛：山本第二场完投 9 局只失 1 分，以 5 比 1 完胜酿酒人，道奇最终横扫晋级。本赛季常规赛他对酿酒人两战全胜，13 局仅失 2 分自责分。"季后赛我只想限制失分、做好自己的工作，"山本赛前表示。
不过酿酒人今晚的先发新秀亨德森同样不好对付。他本季最后 7 次先发 5 胜 1 负、防御率 1.93，本季两度面对道奇全胜，12 局仅失 1 分，防御率低至 0.75，还送出 13 次三振。10 月 4 日国联分区赛第二场对教士，他先发 5 局失 2 分无关胜负，球队最终 4 比 3 再见获胜。"两队彼此都很熟悉，"亨德森周日表示，"我们会回看之前的对战，找出成功的方法，拟定作战计划。"
酿酒人本赛季季后赛牛棚表现强势，对教士的分区赛 19 局仅失 3 分（1 分自责）。道奇若想扳回一城，除了山本的压制，打线必须在亨德森和酿酒人牛棚手下找到突破口。信息来源：路透社。
Dodgers Turn to Playoff Ace Yamamoto in Must-Win NLCS Game 2 at Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE -- The defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers will turn to postseason ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Monday as they look to even the National League Championship Series at a game apiece after dropping the opener 2-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Rookie right-hander Logan Henderson will start for the Brewers.
In Game 1, Brice Turang homered to open the fourth to tie the game, and rookie Luis Lara singled in the go-ahead run in the fifth. Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run on five hits over 4 1/3 innings on 94 pitches before the bullpen threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings; Trevor Megill recorded his third save in the team's four postseason wins. Dodgers starter Tarik Skubal also went 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run.
Yamamoto has been dominant in the postseason, posting an 8-1 record with a 2.14 ERA in 11 appearances, including 10 starts. He earned the win in Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits in seven innings for a 3-1 win. Brewers fans also remember last year's NLCS, when Yamamoto threw a complete-game 5-1 win in Game 2 as the Dodgers swept the series. He beat Milwaukee twice this season, allowing two earned runs in 13 innings. "In the postseason I just want to limit the damage and focus on my job," Yamamoto said.
Henderson, however, has had the Dodgers' number: 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA against them this season (one run in 12 innings, 13 strikeouts and four walks), and 5-1 with a 1.93 ERA over his last seven regular-season starts. He started Game 2 of the NLDS against San Diego on Oct. 4, allowing two runs in five innings in a game Milwaukee won 4-3 on a walk-off. "There's definitely some familiarity there on both sides," Henderson said Sunday. "Go back, watch those outings, and see what we had success with and come up with a game plan."
Milwaukee's bullpen has been dominant this postseason, allowing three runs (one earned) over 19 innings in the NLDS against San Diego. For the Dodgers to even the series, Yamamoto must deliver -- and the lineup must break through against Henderson and that bullpen. Source: Reuters.
