The Milwaukee Brewers are two wins from the World Series. They beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 on Monday to take a 2-0 lead in the NLCS.

Three comebacks

The Dodgers took the lead three different times and Milwaukee answered every time.

William Contreras was the hitting star. He drove in three runs, including a 436-foot homer in the fifth inning and a go-ahead single in the sixth.

A perfect finish

Milwaukee's bullpen retired the final 15 Dodgers in a row. Two throwing errors by Logan Henderson had helped Los Angeles score earlier.

The series now shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Wednesday.
