酿酒人2-1险胜道奇夺NLCS首胜:Turang四局开轰,Lara五局致胜安打

密尔沃基10月11日(周日)晚——据Reuters报道,密尔沃基酿酒人在主场美国捷运球场(American Family Field)以2-1险胜洛杉矶道奇,拿下国联冠军赛(NLCS)首战胜利,在七场四胜制的系列赛中先拔头筹。现场42,617名观众见证了这场投手大战。
道奇先发投手塔里克·斯库鲍尔(Tarik Skubal)前三局势不可挡,仅被击出1支安打、送出6次三振。但第四局首位打者布莱斯·图朗(Brice Turang)逮中一颗2-0的速球,将球轰出左中外野384英尺看台,将比分扳成1-1平。这位两届美联赛扬奖得主在交易截止日前从底特律老虎转投道奇,而酿酒人当时也在追逐他,这记本垒打成了比赛的转折点。
酿酒人第五局以更典型的“小球”战术超前:加勒特·米切尔(Garrett Mitchell)获得保送开局,库珀·普拉特(Cooper Pratt)触击推进,菜鸟路易斯·拉拉(Luis Lara)击出中外野安打送回米切尔,酿酒人2-1领先。斯库鲍尔主投5局,被击出5支安打、失2分,送出7次三振、2次保送,吞下败投,季后赛战绩变为1胜1负,这也是他8场季后赛先发中的第2场败仗。
道奇在第二局先驰得点:大谷翔平获得保送开局,特奥斯卡·埃尔南德斯(Teoscar Hernandez)击出安打,安迪·帕赫斯(Andy Pages)的一垒安打送回大谷。凯尔·塔克(Kyle Tucker)随后保送形成满垒,但恩里克·埃尔南德斯击出双杀打,酿酒人惊险化解危机。酿酒人王牌雅各布·米西奥罗斯基(Jacob Misiorowski)仅第二局就投了35球,全场投4.1局失1分,表现挣扎但守住了局面。
酿酒人牛棚此后一分未失:DL·霍尔(DL Hall)中继登场,让弗雷迪·弗里曼(Freddie Freeman)击出双杀打;阿布纳·乌里韦(Abner Uribe)第六局在二三垒有人时三振帕赫斯化解危机;亚伦·阿什比(Aaron Ashby)投2局无失分;终结者特雷弗·梅吉尔(Trevor Megill)第九局虽在两人出局后连续保送塔克与代打约书亚·德保拉(Josue De Paula),但让穆奇·贝茨(Mookie Betts)击出中外野飞球出局,拿下救援成功。梅吉尔本赛季例行赛拿下30次救援成功。
道奇全场留下9个残垒,得点圈6打数仅1支安打,另击出3支双杀打,季后赛得点圈打击率跌至22打数2安打。值得一提的是,这是自1976年以来国联冠军赛首次上演“双百胜”对决——酿酒人与道奇本赛季均拿下100胜以上。酿酒人此前对道奇已吞下季后赛7连败,包括去年国联冠军赛遭横扫后看着对手夺冠;道奇今年则寻求自1998-2000年洋基以来首支三连霸的球队。
酿酒人队史仅在1982年(当时还属美联)打进过一次世界大赛,至今是未曾夺冠的五支球队之一。系列赛第二战将于10月12日(周一)继续在密尔沃基举行,道奇派出山本由伸(Yoshinobu Yamamoto)先发,酿酒人则由洛根·亨德森(Logan Henderson)应战。

Brewers Edge Dodgers 2-1 in NLCS Opener as Turang Homers, Lara Delivers Go-Ahead Single
MILWAUKEE — Brice Turang homered off Tarik Skubal and Milwaukee's bullpen shut down the Los Angeles Dodgers after a taxing outing by ace Jacob Misiorowski, sending the Brewers to a 2-1 victory in the National League Championship Series opener on Sunday night, according to Reuters.
Turang's leadoff homer in the fourth — a 384-foot shot to left-center on a 2-0 pitch — tied the game 1-all after Skubal had cruised through the first three innings with one hit and six strikeouts. The two-time American League Cy Young winner, acquired from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline while the Brewers were also pursuing him, took the loss (1-1), allowing two runs on five hits over five innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. It was only his second loss in eight postseason starts.
Milwaukee went ahead in more typical fashion in the fifth: Garrett Mitchell walked to open, advanced on Cooper Pratt's sacrifice bunt, and scored on rookie Luis Lara's single to center. In the second, the Dodgers had struck first when Andy Pages' single scored Shohei Ohtani, but Enrique Hernandez grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. Misiorowski threw 35 pitches in the second alone and lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run.
The Brewers' bullpen then put up 4 2/3 scoreless innings: DL Hall got Freddie Freeman to ground into a double play, Abner Uribe struck out Pages with runners on the corners in the sixth, Aaron Ashby threw two scoreless frames, and closer Trevor Megill — despite two-out walks to Kyle Tucker and pinch-hitter Josue De Paula in the ninth — got Mookie Betts to fly out for the save. Megill recorded 30 saves in the regular season.
The Dodgers stranded nine runners, went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position (2-for-22 in the playoffs), and grounded into three double plays before a crowd of 42,617 at American Family Field. It was the first NLCS matchup of 100-win teams since 1976. Milwaukee had dropped seven straight postseason games to the Dodgers, including a sweep in last year's NLCS. The Dodgers are seeking to become the first team to win three straight championships since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees.
Game 2 is Monday in Milwaukee: Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts for the Dodgers against Logan Henderson for the Brewers.
