The Brewers and Dodgers lead their NLDS series 1-0 and have named their Game 2 starters, while the Padres and Braves face pivotal matchups with pitching decisions pending.
The National League Division Series resumed Sunday with all four teams lining up their probable starting pitchers for Game 2. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers both hold 1-0 leads in their best-of-five series against the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres.
Brewers Name Logan Henderson for Game Two
Milwaukee's Game 1 win was powered by rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, who delivered a strong performance to set the tone. Misiorowski, a sophomore, capped an 11-3 season by allowing just one run over five innings at Philadelphia. Logan Henderson will take the mound for the Brewers in Game 2. The 24-year-old will make his playoff debut after posting a 2.47 ERA in 18 starts this year, striking out 110 hitters in 98 1/3 innings.
Henderson is 6-0 at home this season. The Padres will counter with Michael King, who has been excellent in the postseason. King is now 3-0 in his playoff career after tossing a one-hitter against the Cubs in the wild-card round. He also allowed two runs in four innings during Game 1 of the NLDS.
Milwaukee's bullpen kept San Diego off the scoreboard in Game 1 despite King's efforts. The Brewers hold a 1-0 series lead as the teams head into Sunday's pivotal matchup. For the Dodgers, Blake Snell tossed six innings of one-run ball in his first postseason start for Los Angeles. Another southpaw is set to toe the rubber for the Dodgers in Game 2 on Sunday.
Key Pitching Decisions Shape Game Two
The 33-year-old left-hander was limited to nine regular-season starts this year but produced a 1.90 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings. The 6-foot-4 lefty has a 3.27 ERA in 18 career postseason games. Atlanta's situation remains uncertain, as the team will wait until Sunday to decide on its starting pitcher. The 37-year-old would be pitching on two days' rest after closing out Atlanta's Game 1 on Thursday.
If Sale does not start on Sunday, the Braves could turn to another starter or opt for a bullpen game. The decision will be crucial as Atlanta looks to avoid falling behind 2-0 in the series. Both series continue Sunday with high stakes. The Brewers and Dodgers aim to take commanding 2-0 leads, while the Padres and Braves fight to even their respective matchups.
