What happened: Brice Turang spent two days reworking his swing before the NLCS opener. He homered off Tarik Skubal to tie Game 1.

Why it matters: A tying shot against an opposing ace resets early leverage in a Championship Series opener. Game 1 results shape rotation and bullpen usage for the rest of the series.

What to watch: Watch how both staffs navigate the middle innings with the score level.
