The Milwaukee Brewers made the late innings their own Monday, putting together a 7-4 Game 2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and moving in front 2-0 in the series.
Milwaukee collected 12 hits, leaning on steady contact rather than extra-base damage. Ten of those hits were singles, enough to keep traffic on the bases and pressure on the Los Angeles bullpen.

The decisive work came after the starters had left the picture. The Brewers scored four runs across the last four frames, getting into the Dodgers’ relief corps and steadily adding to their total.
It was not a night built around one big swing. Milwaukee kept putting the ball in play, turned singles into scoring chances, and found enough room late to pull away.
Now the Brewers carry a two-game edge after taking the first two games from Los Angeles, with their late-inning approach setting the tone in the second one.
