The Milwaukee Brewers entered Game 1 of the National League Championship Series after putting together some great at-bats against the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers offense was humming and really showed out en route to reaching the NLCS.

On Monday night, though, they were completely shut down in a stellar outing from Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell. Snell pitched eight innings of one-hit ball and only faced the minimum in his start, becoming the first MLB pitcher to do so in postseason play since Don Larsen did it in his 1956 perfect game.

Freddie Freeman had a home run and Mookie Betts coaxed a bases-loaded walk in the top of the ninth. That proved to be the difference in a 2-1 Dodgers win over Milwaukee to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven NLCS at American Family Field.

Milwaukee got to Dodgers closer Roki Sasaki for a run in the bottom of the ninth and had the bases loaded with two outs. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts came on the field, pulled Sasaki, and brought in Blake Treinen. Brice Turang was the last hope for Milwaukee, but he swung at a 2-2 pitch from Treinen and struck out.

That put a bow on an amazing Game 1. Brewers fans were cheering their hearts out all game long. Unfortunately, Milwaukee couldn't seal the deal in the ninth.

But Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick and catcher William Contreras were part of a simply incredible double play. This one will be talked about for years to come.

In the fourth inning, with the bases loaded with Dodgers and one out, Max Muncy sent a 1-0 pitch from Brewers righthander Quinn Priester to deep center field. Frelick headed back to the center-field wall on a full spring. He tried to make a leaping catch at the wall. The ball bounced off of Frelick's glove, off the top of the yellow top of the wall, and back into his glove.

At first, left-field umpire Chad Fairchild signaled safe and that there was no out recorded on the play, according to MLB.com reporter Jordan Bastian. Meanwhile, Frelick fired the ball to Brewers shortstop Joey Ortiz, who then fired a strike to Contreras at home plate. Contreras had his right foot on home plate, forcing the Dodgers' Teoscar Hernández, who was at third, on the out.

Contreras then ran to third base, stepped on it, and completed that incredible double play.

MLB fans will be watching that on replay for a long time to come.

The Brewers would have wished that play could have kickstarted their bats. But Snell was simply too tough.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy will send Freddy Peralta out in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series on Tuesday night against Los Angeles' Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Murphy will let Peralta pitch on regular rest. It also leaves Murphy with a little wiggle room on when Peralta might pitch again should the series reach a Game 5, 6, or 7.

Brewers fans hope that Peralta can deliver in what looks like a clutch game early in this series. Milwaukee really doesn't want to go out to Dodger Stadium down two games.
