The Milwaukee Brewers knew that facing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was going to be a big test.

Jackson Chourio's first-pitch homer off Yamamoto in the first inning put the Brewers up 1-0 early and gave the American Family Field crowd something to cheer about at the time.

After that, though, Yamamoto completely controlled the Brewers hitters. Yamamoto threw 111 pitches in a complete-game masterpiece as the Dodgers beat the Brewers 5-1 on Tuesday night. Los Angeles now holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.

Worst of all for Milwaukee, the series now shifts for the next three games to Dodger Stadium.

Milwaukee and Brewers manager Pat Murphy wanted to at least get a split out of the first two NLCS games. Now? That's out the window.

Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández hit solo home runs off of Brewers starter Freddy Peralto, who was pulled from the game in the sixth inning. Murphy leaned on the Brewers bullpen to keep the game close as the Dodgers were up 3-1 at the time.

But Shohei Ohtani, who has been struggling throughout the postseason, connected on an RBI double to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead. They added one more and that was all she wrote for the Brewers.

Yamamoto was around the plate all night long, coaxing multiple groundball outs off of Brewers hitters. He was just incredible and the Brewers had no answer for his efforts.

As much as American Family Field was rocking on Monday and Tuesday nights, expect Dodger Stadium to be fully lit when Game 3 takes place on Thursday night.

The teams get a travel day off on Wednesday and the Brewers might be doing some hard thinking on what might have been in front of their home fans.

The Dodgers are in a prime situation to put the hammer down. Three straight games at Dodger Stadium, with those rowdy fans? The Brewers are definitely going into hostile territory. 

It's a tough situation for Milwaukee, but the team has shown a knack for being able to rally in the moment. The Brewers will have to find a way to solve the Dodgers' starting pitching. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn't have to use his bullpen at all on Tuesday night, so his relievers are well rested.

The Brewers hitters also need to have more productive at-bats, too.

Milwaukee will have to put up a stellar effort in Game 3 to get a little momentum back on its side.

Will the Brewers be able to do it? Let's see what happens on Thursday night.
