For the first time in franchise history, the Milwaukee Brewers have jumped out to a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven series.

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy confirmed the accomplishment after the team took down the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, 7-4, on Monday in Milwaukee.

Aaron Ashby picked up a huge five-out save in a game that saw both starting pitchers exit far earlier than anyone expected.

In the end, Milwaukee had an answer for everything the Dodgers threw at them, and it resulted in a history-making win at American Family Field.

To no surprise, winning the first two games of a seven-game series puts you in the driver's seat.

Here with the Brewers, they have a chance to become the 76th team to go on and win a series after jumping out to a 2-0 lead.

According to McCalvy, teams have an 83.1% winning percentage when starting how the Brewers have.

Obviously, this series still needs to go to LA, where the fans at Dodger Stadium will have a chance to impact the series. But remember, Milwaukee took three of four from the back-to-back World Series champions on the road in August.

The Brewers didn't win 103 games because of a fluke. They're here in the NLCS looking to prove that this is indeed the year they can win it all, and through the first two games of this series, it sure looks like they're the team to beat.

After surviving Game 1, 2-1, the Brewers put together a 12-hit performance in Game 2 as they chased Yoshinobu Yamamoto after just 2.2 innings.

The Dodgers bullpen desperately needs a day off after four of the eight pitchers they used allowed two or more hits.

Milwaukee's hitters were relentless in Game 2 as they scored just one fewer run than they did in their last three games combined.

Not often are the Dodgers letting teams who make mistakes beat them, but that's exactly what happened in Game 2.

LA scored two of their runs via a sacrifice fly and the other two because Logan Henderson threw the ball away at first base. 

While it seemed like the Dodgers were beating the Brewers at their own game, manager Pat Murphy's squad proved exactly why they finished the regular season with the best record in all of baseball.
