The Brief

MILWAUKEE (KTTV) - The Los Angeles Dodgers are two wins away from returning to the World Series.

The Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Dodger ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto silenced the Brew Crew's bats by throwing a complete game, the first pitcher to do so in the postseason in eight years.

With Tuesday's massive victory, not only did the Dodgers jump to a 2-0 best-of-7 game series lead, but the series shifts to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5, giving the Boys in Blue a chance to finish the NLCS at Dodger Stadium instead of possibly having to fly back to Milwaukee.
