Dining Room: Brewers-Dodgers NLCS Game 2 Recap, Guardians-Rays ALCS Game 1 Recap

Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney chat after the Milwaukee Brewers’ 7-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers to take a 2-0 series lead in the NLCS. They discuss the Brewers’ bullpen dominating, knocking Yoshinobu Yamamoto out of the game early, William Contreras coming up big, and if they would bench Shohei Ohtani. Then, Buster and Jesse Rogers are in The Trop press box following the Cleveland Guardians’ surprising 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays to take a 1-0 series lead in the ALCS. They get into José Ramírez’s continuing tear, the Guardians finding a home run ball, Cleveland’s trade deadline acquisitions making an impact, and whether ALCS Game 2 is a must-win for the Rays.
