What happened: Yoshinobu Yamamoto departed in the third inning after 75 pitches, charged with three earned runs on four hits and two walks with one strikeout over 2 2/3 innings. Milwaukee led 3-2 at the exit and extended the series lead to 2-0.

Why it matters: The short outing reversed Yoshinobu Yamamoto's shutdown NLDS Game 3 form of 10 strikeouts over seven innings of one-run ball. A 2-0 deficit leaves Los Angeles with no margin in a best-of-seven.

What to watch: Los Angeles needs length from the rotation in Game 3 to avoid a 3-0 hole.
