YAMA 🗣️ Yoshinobu Yamamoto is psyching himself up on the mound 😤 https://t.co/8FYLmUormV Via @MLB on X

What happened: Milwaukee opened the NLCS with a Game 1 win for a 1-0 lead. Yamamoto gets the ball in Game 2 with Los Angeles needing a split before the series moves west.

Why it matters: A loss puts Los Angeles in a 2-0 hole in a best-of-seven. The current rotation order also keeps Yamamoto lined up for a potential Game 6.

By the numbers: NLDS Game 3: 10 strikeouts over seven innings, one run allowed. NLCS: Brewers 1, Dodgers 0.

What to watch: Game 2 decides whether the NLCS heads to Los Angeles tied or with Milwaukee up 2-0.
