Turang also made his presence felt defensively, including a stop and throw well behind the bag to get Mookie Betts in the first inning and denying Betts another potential hit earlier in the game.\n\nSkubal was sharp for stretches, striking out six batters the first time through Milwaukee's order and stranding Jake Bauers after a one-out double in the second inning. He kept the Brewers off the bases entirely through the first three innings. But the long ball proved costly, and it was enough to offset Los Angeles managing only a single run of their own.\n\nOn the other side, Jacob Misiorowski worked a taxing outing for Milwaukee, leaning on the bullpen to close it out and keep the Dodgers scoreless the rest of the way. Betts had a modest night at the plate, hitting a single in the third and drawing a walk in the fifth.\n\nThe series now shifts with Milwaukee holding the early advantage.","published_at":"2026-10-12T23:04:35.401115+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Dodgers NLCS player grades: Tarik Skubal makes too many mistakes in Game 1 loss","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/12/sports/dodgers-nlcs-player-grades-tarik-skubal-makes-too-many-mistakes-in-game-1-loss/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Boosted by bullpen, Brewers outlast Dodgers in Game 1 of NLCS","url":"https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/50163790/brice-turang-bullpen-lift-brewers-dodgers-game-1"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"In a battle of little things, Brewers did the big thing to beat Dodgers in NLCS Game 1","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/battle-little-things-brewers-did-031324696.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How did Tarik Skubal pitch in Game 1?
