What happened: Jake Bauers hit a two-run home run against left-hander Blake Snell at Dodger Stadium to put the Milwaukee Brewers ahead 3-2. Bauers previously played in a high school state championship game at the same ballpark.

Why it matters: The Milwaukee Brewers lead the series 2-0 heading into the contest at Dodger Stadium. Bauers continues to deliver timely postseason plate appearances after working a 12-pitch walk to fuel the NLCS Game 1 go-ahead rally.

By the numbers: The Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 series lead after finishing the season 106-58 while averaging 5.0 runs scored and 3.8 runs allowed per game.

What to watch: Snell and the bullpen will look to contain Milwaukee's lineup through the middle innings as the postseason matchup continues at Dodger Stadium.
