Aguilar, the Brewers beat the Dodgers 7-2 and sent NLCS to Game 7

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Ryan Braun slipped on the plate and raised his arms to give him an air of joy.

The Milwaukee Brewers are all prepared for the seventh game.

Jesus Aguilar set the tone for Milwaukee with three runs on two hits and the Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 on Friday night to tie the NL championship series to three games each.

& # 39; & # 39; I do not think of myself. In the end, the most important thing is to win games, "said Aguilar, who scored just two points in the playoffs. & # 39; & # 39; Tomorrow, it may be somebody else. Tonight it was me. & # 39; & # 39;

The seventh match will take place on Saturday night in front of the same frenzy that has booed Manny Machado after mingling with Aguilar as the series unfolded in Los Angeles. Dodgers rookie Walker Buehler faces mate Jhoulys Chacin with a well-rested ace of relief Josh Hader in Milwaukee Park after a surprise day.

This is Brewers' first game 7 since losing to St. Louis in 1982 in their only World Series appearance. The Dodgers lost the seventh game of the World Series last year in Houston.

& # 39; & # 39; I must have them tomorrow. We still have a match, "said Machado. & # 39; & # 39; They played well in baseball today. So, we just have to play a better tomorrow. & # 39; & # 39;

David Freese led the match 6 with a home run that calmed Miller Park – but just for a moment.

Supported by noisy fans waving yellow towels with the inscription "ONE TOUGH CREW", Milwaukee bounced back after consecutive losses at Dodger Stadium with the same formula used to win the Central of the NL during a playoff season.

Timely strikes by Aguilar and his company quickly allowed both players to take the lead. Corey Knebel and Jeremy Jeffress led the way in performing another stopping performance because of the strength of the Milwaukee bull.

& # 39; & # 39; No matter who, no matter where, no matter when, & # 39; & # 39; & # 39; said Knebel. & # 39; & # 39; We are ready to leave. & # 39; & # 39;

Los Angeles was looking for its second consecutive NHP pennant and some time to prepare for the mighty Boston Red Sox in the World Series. But losing pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was scored for four points in the first run, two on a double from Aguilar who brought Braun home.

After Wade Miley launched the fifth inning for his second consecutive start – he only faced one batter in Game 5 – Knebel, Jeffress and Corbin Burnes ended the match relentlessly. Knebel took the win and Burnes pulled the Dodgers out of order in the ninth, setting off a crazy party for the crowd of 43,619.

Manager Craig Counsell considered bringing in Hader, especially in the eighth, but Aguilar scored on a wild pitch at seventh and was singled out to Lorenzo Cain in eighth. The extra room helped Counsell convince Hader to take another day off. The rocket launcher has not launched since Tuesday in the fourth game.

"The best scenario is certain for us," said Counsell.

Freese led in both innings for the Dodgers. The rest of the Los Angeles formation only managed three singles. Machado was beaten all through the night and carried 0 to 4 with two strikeouts.

& # 39; & # 39; You know what? I am focused on the game, "said Machado. & # 39; & # 39; Try to go step by step, go shopping. Let's do what we have to do on the ground. We have not run today. & # 39; & # 39;

Freese, 35, was a surprise choice for Dave Roberts' point guard. He gave a good look to his coach when he started the match with a center-right attack for his ninth playoff game.

Freese also participated in the first leg of the previous NLCS 6 game in Milwaukee, helping the Cardinals win the pennant in 2011. It was only his fourth time at the top of the 10-year career in the majors. .

But the Brewers prepared a quick response that set the tone for the rest of the night. With the runners in first and second position in the lower half of the first, Aguilar lined up a double of the opposite field in the right corner.

Mike Moustakas followed with another RBI double and scored on Erik Kratz's single to make it 4-1. The Brewers only managed three points in the previous two games in Los Angeles.

"It was huge to be able to answer the first run after the circuit," said Moustakas. & # 39; & # 39; One would have been great, two would have been great. To place four here gives us a lot of confidence. & # 39; & # 39;

Christian Yelich and Braun combined for another run with consecutive doubles in the second, and then the question of strategy for Roberts and Counsell with Match 7 on the bridge became reality.
