MILWAUKEE – It's not in baseball that the Milwaukee brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers play as much as it is an intellectual war.

And after two games in the National League championship series, this chess match is at a dead end.

With six outs on the first two games of the NLCS and the loss of their playoff hopes for a sixth consecutive fall, the drowsy Dodgers finally had the shake they needed: a home strike from Justin Turner that has carried the ball to 4 3 victory at Miller Park.

The teams return to Los Angeles with a 1-1 draw, but the Dodgers are on a roll.

For the second consecutive game, they worked the back of the Brewers' office. This time they finished the job.

Let's take a closer look at the second game and next steps:

The Dodgers reversed the advantage of the pack and got the desired confrontations to clear their 3-0 deficit, seventh and save their season.

The intentions of Brewers manager Craig Counsell were clear when he made the otherwise bewildering decision to train left-handers Gio Gonzalez and Wade Miley in the first two games: the Dodgers, the section's lucky players, would be forced to place four to five of the seven players with less than 20 home runs for them this season: Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, Yasmani GRandal and Yasiel Puig, a right-handed guy who hits the right-handed pitchers better.

In the first game, Super Litter Josh Hader opened the Dodgers' door for three rounds after Roberts released his left-handed opponent from the bench.

In the second game, Miley put the Brewers in a position that would not have been imaginable: he ruled out the mighty Dodgers for 5 innings and beat twice, scoring their second try, giving a 2-0 lead to the bullpen.

It was 3-0 and, with Hader on the ground, it was time for Counsell to roll with a right handed riding cavalry.

And the time for the Dodgers to counter.

They staged an exhaustive two-run rally in the seventh, sending seven men to the plate, starting with Muncy's start off Corbin Burnes. Manny Machado's single preceded the contributions of two other left-handed left-handed sluggers: Bellinger stroked a single from RBI and Joc Pederson fell into a little bloop to load the bases.

Even though a Yasiel Puig attack and Grandal's double-charged base game – crowned by a sad first foot slip – shorted a potentially huge round, the damage had been caused. Jeffress, the name closest to the Brewers, had been attracted early in the game. A decisive strike seemed imminent.

And after the first single of Chris Taylor, it came: Turner, who probably played for match 1, suffered his first game in the shoot-off.

Things were different in Game 2. Many things.

State of the Dodgers

They return home all tied and give the ball to rookie Walker Buehler, who posted a silver at 1.93 at Dodger Stadium this season. Maybe home cooking will erase their lazy performance during most of the two games under Miller Park's roof.

Anyway, they can feel comforted by the division as well as by the performance of their pen: the players in the recovery Kenta Maeda, Ryan Madson, Dylan Floro and Pedro Baez provided a relief without goal in both matches , allowing the Dodgers to come back in the final run.

State of the brewers

They will probably regret this defeat, but deep inside themselves, winning a match with a marker without Hader and a starter in Miley who did not throw after the fifth inning in six weeks would be a bonus.

More disturbing: the performances of Burnes, Jeffress, Corey Knebel and Joakim Soria, who teamed up to give seven earned runs in four sets (launched in 15.75). They almost lost both games – and definitely failed the second game.

Man of the moment

Turner. He had a bad image in the first match and ended the match with the third inning, his fourth win. Saturday started happier: he rolled a single in the opposite field to take away on Friday.

Seven innings later, one of the two biggest circuits of his career, joined the match 2 circuit as he defeated the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS 2017.

Forgotten Hero

Miley. The man probably had to throw three or four innings. He almost launched six, removing 16 consecutive Dodgers after Turner's first single. Oh, and he made two shots, marking the second round of the Brewers, while the Milwaukee pitchers were among their best offensives in the series.

What you missed on TV

The first baseman of the Brewers, Jesus Aguilar, removes his hat and recognizes the crowd of 43,905 people as he was coming off the field during a double change. Oh, was the O standing up for Miley? Details, details.
