The National League playoff teams got a breather Sunday but are back at it Monday with the Dodgers and Brewers hoping to take 2-0 leads in the best-of-five Division Series.
While Milwaukee pounced early in its opener against the Cubs, scoring nine times in the first two innings Saturday, L.A. got to the Phillies’ bullpen late for a win on the road.
In Monday’s first game, Blake Snell will try to consolidate the Dodgers’ advantage as he takes the mound at Citizens Bank Park against 15-game winner Jesus Luzardo.
In Milwaukee, Aaron Ashby starts for the Brewers against Chicago’s Shota Imanaga in another all-lefties pitching matchup.
Here’s how to watch all of Monday’s action as the NLDS rolls on:
